The European Union has raised the stakes for software developers, companies, and open source communities with groundbreaking legislation—the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and the Product Liability Directive (PLD). These frameworks aim to enhance cybersecurity standards and redefine liability for digital products, introducing challenges and opportunities for all sectors of software development, including open source. Daniel provided in-depth analysis of the Digital Markets Act’s impact on large corporations and discussed the timeline and significance of the Cyber Resilience Act. He concluded by offering insights into other critical acts, giving a comprehensive view of the evolving regulatory landscape in the EU.
Afterwards he signed, dedicated, and gave away 100 copies of his book: “Manufacturing European Software”. You can buy a PDF version of the book here at LemonSqueezy.
