I got the opportunity to attend {code and compliance} 2025 in Brussels. The event was organized by the Open Compliance and Regulatory working group at Eclipse Foundation.
It was an interesting day with presentations, workshops, and panels with topics about and around the Cyber Resillience Act (CRA). Since this is not my usual type of topics, some of the terminology and discussions where a little hard to follow (for me), but it certainly is a valuable experience to follow what’s going on in these forums. I am sure it will benefit the work I do in the Jakarta EE working group if, and when, questions around CRA comes up. A cool tool that was presented is the OCCTET – Self Assessment Portal. This toolkit is a simple way to check if you are complient with CRA with regard to your usage of Open Source software.
A positive side-effect of the event was to be able to meet and hang out with my colleagues. Since Eclipse Foundation is a fully remote organization, it is not that many times we get to meet during the year.
