| Marcin was born in Poland. At age ten, during the martial law period of Poland, he left for America. From early on, he wanted to apply knowledge toward a quality life for all. He graduated with Honors from Princeton University in 1995 with a degree in Chemistry and received a Ph.D. in physics, from U. Wisconsin, Madison, in the field of Fusion Energy. He found both experiences lacking in terms of practical application to addressing pressing world issues. He formulated the [[Open Source Ecology]] concept in 2003 and development of open source technology has consumed him ever since. He is presently part of a practical social experiment for creating the world's first, replicable, [http://openfarmtech.org/weblog/?p=2012 open source, post-industrial global village], with a living laboratory at [[Factor e Farm]]. His main interest is ‘evolving to freedom’, and making this option practical for anyone interested in a better world.

| Marcin came to the U.S. from Poland as a child. He graduated with honors from Princeton and earned his PhD in fusion physics from the University of Wisconsin before shifting direction and starting a hydroponic vegetable farm in Madison, WI. Lacking real experience in practical matters, he then began his education from scratch, and in 2003 he founded Open Source Ecology in order to make closed-loop manufacturing a reality. He began development on the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS), an open source DIY tool set of 50 different industrial machines necessary to create modern civilization from scrap metal. OSE has prototyped 8 machines and intends to build everything from an induction furnace for melting metals to an open source combine. | |

| We are simultaneously launching our first full product release of the Compressed Earth Brick Press (CEB), and building a new flexible fabrication workshop with our Tractor, Soil Pulverizer, and CEB. We are blogging, updating the wiki with instructions, and travelling frequently for speaking events. This winter, we’ll focus on strategies for developing the rest of the GVCS in a massively-parallel collaborative fashion through crowd funding and stronger developer outreach.

| Part of the nature of my project is that I create my own world from ‘scratch’, which is an exhilarating pursuit. This entails living closely with the land and developing a built-in sense of recreation and freedom in my work, the same kind that I’d wish for adopters of our designs. The project has also brought a rich community of collaborators from diverse disciplines, allowing for exciting cross-pollination and skill-exchange.

| I once went to a physics professor to ask about what item a certain long wave equation was describing. He said, “Oh, it doesn't exist. I just made it up.” It was confirmed then that my education was not really adding up to solving pressing world issues, and it was time for a mid-course correction.
