We’ll be at #JCON2026 in Cologne 🇩🇪
Meet us at our booth to talk about #AI and the #CyberResilienceAct – and how these topics show up in real-world software development.
We’re also running short interviews with attendees and bringing some Basel treats and stickers along 🍬

Im Rahmen der Umsetzung des #CyberResilienceAct (CRA) wird uns erneut eine besondere Rolle zuteil. Neben der Ernennung zur marktüberwachenden Behörde übernehmen wir auf europäischer Ebene nun den Vorsitz der Administrative Cooperation Group „AdCo CRA“. 🇪🇺

We’ve just published the first monthly report for our Cyber Resilience Act Readiness project, part of our 2026 effort to prepare the FreeBSD community for the European Union’s landmark cybersecurity regulation.
This update provides a transparent look at our progress across key workstreams, including security and vulnerability handling, SBOM tooling, public documentation, and community engagement.

LibreOffice calls out EU Commission for requiring proprietary XLSX-only feedback templates in Cyber Resilience Act consultation, excluding ODF users. 🧩
Document Foundation demands ODF/ODS or web forms as equal alternatives to uphold EU interoperability goals and avoid vendor lock-in. 🛡️

Die EU predigt digitale Souveränität, aber bei der eigenen Konsultation zum #CyberResilienceAct gibt's nur Microsoft-Excel-Formulare. 🤦
Die #DocumentFoundation kritisiert das als "strukturelle Voreingenommenheit" und fordert offene Standards wie #ODF. Denn wer #LibreOffice nutzt, muss erstmal basteln.
Sollte die EU nicht mit gutem Beispiel vorangehen? 🌍⚖️
The European Commission has accepted our request, and starting from today – Friday March 6 – has added the Open Document Format ODS version of the spreadsheet to be used to provide the feedback. We are grateful to the people working at DG CONNECT, the Commission’s Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology, for responding to our request within 24 hours. At this point, the rest of this message is no longer relevant, and the call for action is no longer necessary. ARCHIVED MESSAGE The European Commission has spent years advocating for open standards, vendor neutrality, and digital sovereignty. The European Interoperability Framework explicitly recommends open formats for public sector digital services. The EU’s own Open Source Software Strategy calls for reducing dependency on proprietary technologies, and the Cyber Resilience Act itself is designed to address systemic risks from unaccountable technology dependencies. On March 3rd, 2026, the European Commission published a request for feedback on to the guidances to be provided in relation to the CRA, which must be provided through the linked spreadsheet in .xlsx format, a proprietary format that makes interoperability extremely difficult due to its ever changing and undocumented features. This is not a minor procedural oversight.
La Document Foundation accusa la Commissione Europea di usare esclusivamente il formato proprietario .xlsx per raccogliere feedback sul Cyber Resilience Act, ignorando i propri principi su interoperabilità e standard aperti. #LibreOffice #TDF #CyberResilienceAct #ODF #OpenSource
