EU Legislation Update: Call to Action
Hello Community Members,
Over the last few months, we at Moodle HQ have been monitoring the development of new legislation in the European Union that has the potential to negatively impact open source software, its users, the people who contribute to its development and our community of educators and learners globally.
The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) aims to safeguard European consumers and businesses buying or using products or software with a digital component. The act seeks to establish a uniform set of cybersecurity requirements for all digital products in the European Union, requiring auditing and compliance with standards yet to be established.
The overarching goal of the act is one that Moodle supports unequivocally. A defining characteristic of Moodle’s open source values and practices is our pledge to build a secure learning management system that protects the privacy and security of learners’ and employees’ data.
However, Moodle HQ, as well as a number of other open source software developers; and foundations, such as the Eclipse Foundation and the Apareo Foundation, are concerned that the CRA, as currently written, will dramatically impact users of open source solutions and damage the open source ecosystem.
The CRA aims to establish legislation that will require product manufacturers to apply for accreditation (referred to as the CE mark) of their products to indicate conformance to the act’s requirements. This process will impose expensive administrative overheads, limit best practice development practices, and may negatively impact cyber resilience in an open source context.
Further reading on the accreditation requirements and their implications can be found in numerous informative articles, such as:
-
This comprehensive blog post by the Internet Society
-
A detailed assessment by the Apache Foundation
-
A number of articles published by Github, including this articulation of the key issues at play
-
An open letter from prominent open source content management providers; Drupal, Joomla, Typo 3 and Wordpress.
For Moodle, the implications could be grave. Although the CRA currently includes an exemption for open source software developed or supplied outside the course of a commercial activity, this exemption has caveats that disqualify Moodle from it, being:
-
The CRA regulates open source projects receiving donations – Moodle receives donations necessary for the sustainability of our project.
-
The CRA regulates open source projects that do not have “a fully decentralised development model” – Moodle is developed by both community contributors and Moodle HQ employees, meaning that, as a project that has “corporate” employees with commit rights, we would not be exempt.
And for institutions, universities or companies that are adopters and adapters of open source software, contribute to open source projects and the community, or simply consume these solutions, the implications could be just as grave. The act has the potential to:
-
Make the software you rely on no longer available in the EU – with distribution limited to other geographies or solutions disappearing due to lack of sustainability.
-
Limit the potential of open research – with the use of open source software limited by compliance costs.
-
Increase the complexity of multi-organisation work – with collaboration on open source software projects difficult due to legal accountability requirements, limiting university and commercial partnerships.
-
Increase software licensing costs – with fees charged for any software product increased to cover required re-factoring and compliance obligations.
Last month the CRA was voted on and passed through to the next stage of implementation. However, dialogue with the European Commission is ongoing and further refinements to the act are being debated. This means that change is still possible, and you can help Moodle, and the open source ecosystem as a whole, with action.
We invite you to:
-
Join the OpenForum Europe – multi-stakeholder discussions are happening here.
-
Publicly state your position that the development of open source is critical to Europe’s prosperity and digital sovereignty.
-
Engage directly with the policymakers of your country (MEPs, governments) and corporate public affairs departments. Members of relevant committees can be found via this page.
-
Educate your colleagues in government relations on the importance of open source to your business or institution.
We at Moodle HQ will continue to engage with relevant parties through our associations and involvement in the FOSS Legal Network. We will be relentless in our efforts to protect open source and its contribution to providing safe and inclusive educational environments that empower individuals and foster access to quality education for all.
Thank you in advance for your support,
The Moodle HQ Team

Unveiling the Chrome Web Store’s Redesign
In celebration of Chrome’s 15th birthday, we’re thrilled to introduce the redesigned Chrome Web Store. With a user-centric focus, we’ve made it easier for you to search and find fun themes and helpful extensions to stay productive at home or at work. Let’s go behind the scenes and learn more about this redesign from Chrome Product Manager Hafsah Ismail and UX Designer Crystal Wang.
What influenced your decision to redesign the Chrome Web Store?
Hafsah: Chrome and the Web have evolved in remarkable ways. We now have extensions that unlock uncharted levels of productivity for developers or harness the power of generative AI to reshape work as we know it. It only felt natural to evolve the store to continue to meet the dynamic needs of users and developers in our ecosystem. Extensions and themes lie at the heart of a personalized Chrome experience, so it was a natural progression to give the store a fresh, contemporary look to align with this transformation.
Can you share more details about the design?
Crystal: This project was an amazing opportunity to redesign everything from the ground up, and was a collaborative team effort with product, research, writing, and more. Our main goals were to modernize the UI and create a well-lit path for users to find high quality extensions and themes to make the web work better for them. Two key areas of the design I’m particularly proud of are the refreshed look and feel and global navigation and search.
Seamless, global navigation and search
We updated the navigation and search experience to be seamless, universal and easily accessible, no matter where the user is in their extension discovery journey.
New categories based on user needs and lifestyle
Extension and theme categories were revamped to be more expansive, relevant, and focused on usefulness and purpose.
Modern and expressive look & feel
The redesign was an exciting opportunity to modernize the UI with Google’s latest design system, Material 3, allowing for a more modern, consistent and intuitive user experience. We also created brand new illustrations to help users connect with extensions on a more meaningful level; differentiating us from any other extension store on the market.
What’s new in the Chrome Web Store for developers?
Hafsah: Amplifying our developers is a critical part of our storefront’s redesign. We’re introducing a self-nomination form for developers to showcase their extensions for a spot in our Editor’s Picks collection. We’re eager to highlight extensions that:
-
Have a high-quality listing including visually appealing assets
-
Provide clear value to the user, and add to their Chrome experience
-
Are from a range of developers, big and small!
Please feel free to check out our developer post for more information and as a place for feedback from the community.
What are some of your favorite recent additions to store?
Hafsah:
-
Instapaper: I’m passionate about tech and cooking, always eager to discover the newest innovations and curate articles and recipes. Instapaper has become an essential extension for me; its power lies in letting me save anything I want to revisit later, a tool you don’t realize you need until you do.
-
Noisli: As a product manager who finds herself in energizing meetings, I really value creating the perfect work environment for deep work and reflection. Extensions like Noisli are game-changers, enabling the perfect environment for focused work. With Noisli, I can curate the soundtrack to my productivity
Crystal:
-
Todoist for Chrome: I’m someone who loves being organized, and I’ve always been super big on writing physical checklists. Recently, I’ve been very into Todoist to make to-do lists in my Chrome browser, and this productivity extension has become a personal favorite.
-
Asian & Pacific Islander Artist Theme Series: Being an Asian American, I’m also a huge fan and extra proud of the Asian & Pacific Islander Artist Themes series created by our team. I currently have Crested Ibis installed on my browser and I love it!
