Dear Sérgio and fellow colleagues,

We recently received the exciting news that FOSS4G 2024 will be held in Brazil, 
and I will have the pleasure of hosting the event in my hometown (Belém do 
Pará).

In this regard, I would like to invite all of you from this group who could 
organize a session and perhaps propose a parallel meeting during this event to 
discuss GEOFORALL. I am confident that this will be a milestone and that we can 
establish significant partnerships at this event, enhancing schools, 
universities, and laboratories.

What do you say?

Best regards,

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] EU Cyber Resilience Act - potential impacts on open geospatial software?

[Torsten Friebe via Discuss]

Dear all,

I would like to share with you the press release and statement of the 
Open Source Business Alliance (OSBA), a non-profit organisation based in 
Germany, which represents companies and organizations developing, 
building and using Open Source Software. The German Local Chapter of 
OSGeo, the FOSSGIS e.V. is member of the OSBA organisation since 2022.


Press release: 
https://osb-alliance.de/english/statement-on-the-cyber-resilience-act


Statement: 
https://osb-alliance.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/OSB-Alliance-Statement-on-the-CRA.pdf


As the current CRA is still under discussion and there are still 
opportunities to address the issues towards the EU and EU member states 
I would like to propose that (all) European OSGeo local chapters develop 
a joint declaration/statement and share this within the local communities.


Cheers

Dear all,

A lot of very good thoughts on this thread (and online).

I have been thinking a bit more on this. As Luís highlights while 
there are steps to take to be clear with our license the result would 
end up not being useful / legal in Europe (which defeats OSGeo vision 
of empowering everyone with free and open source geospatial goodness).


a) The CRA treating everything as a supplier arrangement is a problem. 
It is disrespectful to be treated as a supplied rather than a 
respected commons (or even labour.)


If we borrow a tool from labour - what would adopting a work-to-rule 
practice for Europe?


  * Delay downloads by two weeks (simulation of anticipated
certification overhead)
  * Release source code to Europe but not the digital downloads
(respect Free and Open Source license and provide a taste of VPN
future)


Aside: I use the word disrespectful to help indicated the violation of 
the social norms asserted with our community. We should be offended 
that after creating so much value for Europe regulation is being setup 
to require more from our community.


b) The proposed CRA certification SME to declare technology used. This 
technically sets up a "dependency list" showing the open-source used 
by each organization.


Could this be used in a Robbin Hood manner to direct funding where needed:

  * Use such insight to support projects that are underfunded for
their level of importance to European Economy
  * Use tax dollars, or certification fees from industry, to scale
funding to match use of free and open source technologies


Aside: This is what I mean about seeking economic solutions for the 
root cause (underfunded open-source projects used in critical or 
economically important systems).

Dear all,

hours ago, Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal and TYPO3 published an open 
letter on the CRA painting a scenario similar to the worst case I put 
forth here last week. Not only are FOSS projects threatened, 
thousands of European SMEs will either perish or move on to wholesale 
commercial software in the wake of this legislation. Essentially, we 
are speaking of the companies that contribute to fund OSGeo and 
sponsor the FOSS4G.


https://wordpress.org/news/files/2023/08/Open_Letter_on_the_Significance_of_Free_and_Open_Source_Software_in_the_EU_s_Proposed_Cyber_Resilience_Act.pdf

I am becoming increasingly concerned by this. I would exhort every 
charter member in Europe to get thoroughly informed and seek advice 
from trade guilds or unions and enterprise associations or federations.


Regards,

Luís
