1		-Hello :-)
	1	+[[image:a_new_economy_test.jpg||style="float: right;" width="40%"]]Dear OSI colleagues,
2	2
3		-I am a candidate for the affiliate member seat, currently held by [[Simon Phipps>>url:https://opensource.org/docs/board-annotated#sphipps]].\\
	3	+Libre and open-source technologies can help us achieve **decent and healthy life for everyone**.
4	4
5		-=== Why open-source? ===
	5	+This is why I am very glad to host the Open Village, a series of activities to promote **open hardware for health**, as part of the Geneva Health Forum and Open Geneva this March.
6	6
7		-I understand open-source as a method that encourages everyone to build, review, reproduce, improve a technology or an innovation (rather than recreating it).
	7	+* [[video - Open Village (subtitled)>>url:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9f7eda9h_o&app=desktop||rel="__blank"]]
	8	+* [[website - Open Village>>url:http://openvillage.ch/||rel="__blank"]]

9		-I see the value of open-source in its ability to help us achieve **decent and healthy life for everyone**, as it fosters collaboration rather than competition, and reduces barriers to access knowledge.\\
	10	+This builds on Breathing Games, a commons to make respiratory health fun, by collectively creating games for children with asthma, teens with cystic fibrosis, and elders affected by air polution and smoking (COPD).
10	10
11		-=== What is Breathing Games? ===
	12	+* [[poster - Mutual care taking: collectively creating our respiratory wellbeing with open sciences>>url:https://zenodo.org/record/3451506||rel="__blank"]]
	13	+* [[website - Breathing Games>>url:http://breathinggames.net/||rel="__blank"]]
12	12
13		-[[[[image:a_new_economy_test.jpg||style="float: right;" width="40%"]]Breathing Games>>url:https://breathinggames.net/en||rel="__blank"]] brings people together so that we **collectively take care of our respiratory health**. We develop digital games to help asthmatic children manage their crises, or to value self- and mutual care, both for people who live with reduced breath capacity (cystic fibrosis, COPD) and for the public. Did you know air pollution reduces our life expectancy by 20 months?
14		-
15		-We prototyped [[20 games and two controllers>>url:https://breathinggames.net/en/games-hardware||rel="__blank"]], some of which were recently tested in hospitals. We now work on a multiplayer game where up to four players will have to collaborate with their different skills to reach the summit of a mountain.
16		-
17		-I co-founded this [[open access commons>>url:http://www.benkler.org/Open%20Access%20Commons%20Oxford%20Handbook%20Prepub.pdf]] in 2014. Breathing Games is affiliated to OSI since 2016, and a member of the [[Global Alliance against chronic respiratory diseases>>url:https://gard-breathefreely.org/about/||rel="__blank"]] since 2018.

	16	+I would be glad to **join the OSI board with this mindset**, and **help open-source communities cooperate meaningfully** for the benefit of all. :-)

	18	+A bit about me: I am 37, and live frugally, six months in Canada, and six months in Europe and Asia. I intervened for ten years in leading organizations before founding Breathing Games.
