This week the European Commission published the draft for a guidance document for the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). It is 70 pages, but contains some helpful examples and flowcharts, like this one, making it accessible even to Open Source folks with limited time.
Here: Quick guidance for the question if your FOSS component is in scope for the CRA, and if so, wether you're deemed a steward or manufacturer in regards of the component.

How do you keep up with your Mastodon timeline?
Some days I just don’t have the time or energy to scroll through everything, and I end up missing plenty of popular toots or boosts.
What kind of tools or clients do you use to address this?
(For me the general "trending" feature does not work, because I'm only interested in my own timeline, not in trends within my instance.)

Dear Fediverse,
after some ups and downs over the past months and my departure from @sovtechfund@mastodon.social, I’ve decided to move into freelance IT consulting. I even created a website 😅: https://swillus.eu
I'm offering support around Open Source (as in OSPOs, policies, programm management), Supply Chain Security (also in terms of CRA readiness) and Engineering Management.
Let me know if you know someone who needs support. Thanks! ❤️
