Hi,
I've drafted some personal notes in a pad
https://annuel2.framapad.org/p/osgeo_cra-a2r1 if that may help for
further action. Feel free to drop yours into it (anyone with the link
should have edit rights).
I most certainly have mis-understood some things, and the formulation is
too naive to be reused directly
The more I read the actual text of the act, the more it scares me. There
is no way unpaid volunteers can comply with that (just look at the
"CONTENTS OF THE TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION" in Annex V, and consider such
documentation may potentially have to be written in an official language
of each member state). Even with funding, this would require specific
expertise, and a serious revamp of our processes, which might end up
being just incompatible with how OSS works.

Hi all,
We are planning to make a community meeting about the EU CRA, so we
can discuss our action plan forward.
The meeting is planned for Tuesday 22 Aug 13:00 UTC in our Jitsi room:

Hi OSGeo
The European Union's proposed Cyber Resilience Act has just come to the
attention of many non-EU folks as a potential dampener on open source
geospatial software development and usage. A summary from GitHub is here
(thanks Marco Bernasocchi for pointing it out):
https://github.blog/2023-07-12-no-cyber-resilience-without-open-source-sustainability/
It's being discussed in the OSGeo board, and some responses from other
open source organisations have already been made, for example:
https://newsroom.eclipse.org/news/announcements/open-letter-european-commission-cyber-resilience-act
It would be great to hear your thoughts on the impact of the proposed
legislation on open source geospatial software development across the
globe - so we can form an appropriate community response as soon as
possible. What are your thoughts?
Yes, we're late in gettung our attention on to this. Hopefully not too
late.
Thanks,
Adam
