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]].
4		-\\
	3	+Libre and open-source technologies can help us achieve **decent and healthy life for everyone**.
5	5
6		-=== 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.
7	7
8		-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	9
10		-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.
11		-\\
	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).
12	12
13		-=== 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"]]
14	14
15		-An OSI affiliate since 2016,[[ [[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**.
	15	+(((
	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. :-)
16	16
17		-We develop digital games to help asthmatic children manage their crises, to value self- and mutual care for people who live with reduced breath capacity (cystic fibrosis, COPD), and to promote respiratory health to the broader population. Did you know air pollution reduces our [[life expectancy>>url:https://www.stateofglobalair.org/life-expectancy||rel="__blank"]] by 20 months?
	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. I hold a [[Master of Advanced Studies in Human Systems Engineering>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_systems_engineering||rel="__blank"]], and am affiliated to [[Concordia University>>url:http://breathinggames.net/||rel="__blank"]] in Montreal.
18	18
19		-We prototyped [[20 games and two controllers>>url:https://breathinggames.net/en/games-hardware||rel="__blank"]] – most during events –, some of which were recently tested in hospitals. We now develop a multiplayer game where up to four players collaborate to reach the summit of a mountain, with different breathing challenges.
20		-
21		-Since 2018, Breathing Games is a member of the [[Global Alliance against chronic respiratory diseases>>url:https://gard-breathefreely.org/about/||rel="__blank"]]. Here is a[[ poster>>url:https://breathinggames.net/pub/bg_19_poster_gard.pdf||rel="__blank"]] we presented in October, which summarizes our work.
