La Mar de Bits
We support conscious, responsible and local projects
to become more visible, efficient, organised and profitable.
Have you been struggling for years and you can’t get your project to move forward? Do you feel you have a great social responsibility and you feel frustrated that your message is not reaching enough people? Do you feel that the organization of your project is erratic and chaotic?
In La Mar de Bits we accompany you to give wings to your project. Through a website you can define who you are, what you do and who you want to address; in addition, with email, cloud space, intranet and collaborative text editors you can better manage communication and the internal organisation of your project.
We also help you prepare the texts you need to make yourself known and translate them if necessary.
In addition, we provide you with a series of resources to help you advance on a professional and human level, such as technical training to learn to master the technological tools, legal/administrative consultancy to advise you on the development of your project, and facilitation, mediation and arbitration to manage conflict.
We are at your side, we have more than 15 years of experience in grassroots movements and in the development of our own projects.

A little bit more about us
La Mar de Bits is the continuation and last transformation of the projects moviments.net (founded in 2009 and finished in 2009) and marsupi (founded in 2009 and finished in 2016).
From the beginning, the project has focused on providing a local technical solution, far from the big Internet service providers, to projects of people from social movements and grassroots movements. As such, our philosophy is to always use free software and reuse hardware.
Our infrastructure is maintained thanks to the contributions made by each of the partners depending on the type of service they use. Currently it is formed by 2 dell C6100 that add up to a total of 8 nodes with a total of 96 cores and 288Gb of RAM. Our Internet access is through guifi.net (operated by Capa8).

Project prospecting and monitoring
Mattia Schiaulini, Udine, Italy, 1979. He graduated in Italy in Biomedical Sciences. He worked for three years in England for the University of Bristol before moving to Barcelona where he continued his biomedical studies until 2011.
In Catalonia he joined movements of ecologists, naturopaths and cooperatives, which led him to create a personal health project focused on conscious eating. The initiative was born through the experience acquired with the Cooperativa Integral Catalana (CIC), both from the contacts and the culture of self-management and the theoretical and practical knowledge of how to set up one’s own project and mutual support.
He currently manages the Consciente athenaeum in Vilanova i la Geltrú, a place with a kitchen and several rooms to carry out theoretical and practical activities on nutrition and health.
