Update on the European Cyber Resilience Act

The European Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is poised to have a profound impact on the software industry as a whole and upon the open source community.
On April 17th, thirteen of the leading organisations in the open source software community published an open letter addressed to the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union, to express its concerns.
Join Eclipse Foundation executive director Mike Milinkovich as he provides the latest information on this important legislation.

We must stop being so polite! Clearly only the companies with the deepest pockets will be able to cover the liability to publish in the EU market if this passes. This is an old anti-competitive trick and its infuriating how inattentive the public has been about this.

Well. It was nice working with all of you. I hope your countries do not follow the EU on this one.

Big thanks to Mike for a great presentation

Something that you may want to think about when messaging in this way. The first webinar was broadcast early March and for those who have watched that stream, it might be good to up-front publish a 'diff' towards the situation at that point, summarized in a ChangeLog-like list in the description of this video.

Good presentation, curious to see what the final RCE will be and what status open source is going to get.
Where can I find the slides (for the url of sites etc) ?

I wonder whether my state will pay me a pension until the end of my working life, once this has killed any software related jobs within the union? After all there is a lot of screaming and gnashing of teeth for only a couple of thousand coal extraction jobs that are being phased out, so I’d expect the same courtesy in this case…

retrain as a security auditor, that's what's going to happen. You either refuse to sale or license to europeans full stop, or you have to hire very likley a european security audit company (owned by an eu parlament members nephew of course) or they're going to fine you out of existence.

I express myself through software. I need The First Amendment. I may use anonymity. I could send CRA messages to users, but that may also interfere with them. Guess I could set up a mail-list, where users can subscribe for additional CRA-information. Sending sensitive security information to a central EU agency... let me think a bit more about what to send and when..

we need filezilla back!
