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

[Jody Garnett]

Thanks for setting that up, can we add it to the website ad an event or
news item? That way it can be shared on social media and email lists.

The missing voice on this discussion (and osgeo in general) is the small
and medium business owners.

A whole bunch of the concern is the impact on small and medium business
owners. We have not yet heard from our service providers and sponsors on
this subject.

As a North American I have concern(s) and care - but am not sure how to
support this process.
