About me

My name is Lorenz Lechner. I work as a bicycle-courier and I am a FreeCAD enthusiast. My support for FreeCAD started in 2013 and includes the maintenance of conda-packages. In recent years I packaged a lot of dependencies for FreeCAD and started to create packages of the latest source on every sunday.
Other topics I was involved in are:

python3 porting
freecad-namespace-packages
openglider / glider-workbench
freecad.gears
freecad.airfoil
pivy-maintainace
