| 1 | Hello, | ||
| 2 | |||
| 3 | Thank you for taking the time to read about OSI board candidates. :-) | ||
| 4 | |||

| 9 | === What is open-source? === | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | |||
| 12 | I understand open-source as a method that encourages everyone to build, review, reproduce, improve a technology or an innovation (rather than recreating it). | ||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | 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.\\ | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | === What contribution to OSI? === | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | To clarify my position, I summarized my colleagues goals. I invite you to read their [[full profile>>doc:WebHome||rel="__blank"]] – I learned a lot about them and their vision doing so. :-)\\ | ||

| 52 | === What is Breathing Games? === | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | [[Breathing Games>>url:https://breathinggames.net/en||rel="__blank"]] brings people together so that we collectively take care of our breath. Concretely, we develop digital games to help asthmatic children manage their crises well, or to value peer sharing between peple who live with reduced breath capacity (cystic fibrosis, COPD). | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | 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. | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | 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.[[ This poster>>url:https://breathinggames.net/pub/bg_19_poster_gard.pdf||rel="__blank"]] presents our work. | ||
