Learn how to strategically manage time and resources for Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance in open source projects through this conference talk that presents a practical case study from a multi-entity open source ecosystem. Discover how to break CRA-related work into three stewardship "time buckets" - staying informed, influencing and defending community interests, and implementing organizational changes - while examining real-world decisions about meeting attendance, workload distribution, and resource allocation. Explore when to join existing cross-project initiatives versus creating new working groups, and understand the pitfalls of fragmented efforts that waste limited time. Gain access to practical tools including a "CRA time budget" canvas for mapping realistic time investments, a decision checklist for evaluating which CRA events and working groups deserve attention, and proven patterns for distributing compliance work across boards, OSPOs, companies, and volunteers. Master the art of making strategic choices about compliance activities from the perspective of open source stewards dealing with the reality of limited time rather than theoretical organizational structures.
