Re: [open-regulatory-compliance] CRA: Online survey for Free Software Stewards, for Free Software projects and for manufacturers

Sorry, but this questionnaire assumes that an entity can't be both a manufacturer and a steward ("Do you consider yourself a Manufacturer and a Steward, but for different projects?")

Yeah....poor assumption I would say.

Note that this is something I have been arguing for since late 2022 or early 2023. So it would be good if it is actually the case that one entity can be both a manufacturer and a steward for the same product (depending not on the product itself, but on the commercial and contractual relationship attached to it).

Agreed.   I'm not sure how many people have to say this...and how many times...for it to get through to the right people...but it appears to be more than you and I have done so far.  Maybe I should train my open source project lead agent to make this point.




Also, there is no way to go back to revise a previous answer, which is both annoying (I had to start again in incognito mode) and will probably lead to biased results.

Hi all

We created a CRA questionnaire as part of the "Dialogue for
Cybersecurity". The questionnaires were developed to gain important
insights into the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and its impact.

There are questionnaires for Free Software projects, manufacturers and
potential Free Software stewards.

The responses will help us understand what guidance is needed and this
will feed into our work across the Free Software ecosystem and with the
European Commission to support the CRA implementation.

Potential Free Software stewards (EN)
https://dialog-cybersicherheit.limesurvey.net/146965?lang=en

Free Software projects (EN)

Manufacturer (EN)
https://dialog-cybersicherheit.limesurvey.net/582853?lang=en

The questionnaire will be open for responses until August 31. Please
note that all responses received by July 30 will be included in an
initial evaluation. These preliminary results will be presented as part
of a presentation at FrOSCon [1]. Of course, any feedback received after
July 30 will also be considered in the final analysis. We appreciate
your participation and support! Note: The feedback will be published
anonymously. Thank you for your support.

Best
Alex
