Panel: Standards and Market Access in a Regulated Software Market

A presentation at EU Open Source Policy Summit in in Brussels, Belgium by Tobie Langel

How can the needs of free and open source projects and businesses be included in standards development?

In the context of procedural standards being developed for the Cyber Resilience Act, AI Act, Data Act and the Interoperable Europe Act, the panellists will discuss how key players will work to implement their intention, obligation, or desire for these standards to be compatible with the development and business models of free and open source software.
