What’s in the SOSS? Podcast #69 – S3E21 Watering the Community Garden: Navigating the EU CRA for Open Source with Roman Zhukov
Brief
Summary
The clock is ticking toward the European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) deadlines, yet a staggering 66% of organizations remain completely unaware of what is coming. In this episode of What’s in the SOSS? host Sally sits down with Roman Zhukov, co-chair of the OpenSSF Global Cyber Policy Working Group and Security Communities Lead at Red Hat, to demystify this sweeping regulation.
Using a brilliant “community garden” analogy, Roman breaks down the distinct roles of maintainers, stewards, and manufacturers under the law, illustrating why the traditional “consume and forget” model of open source is officially dead.
