Others usually refer to Nenad Romić aka Marcell Mars as a free software advocate, cultural explorer, social instigator.

My main fields of interests are collaborative practices, communities gathered around ‘good causes’, network economy, programming, hackers’ culture, education, media design & theory. It is exciting when in practice these fields overlap.
