Hi, my name is Lorenz, I am 19 years old, I do a lot of things, and I am interested in even more things :)

I am contributor to the #OpenSource Software projects #GNOME and #Vala (I am running @vala_lang) and I am GNOME Foundation Member.

I am from Berlin, but currently I am living in Phnom Penh, #Cambodia, and I am volunteering in a youth organisation here.

I am posting about these things, but I want to share other things as well.
