History
In 2003, Mikael Hallendal and Richard Hult were working together on a project management application called Planner. They founded Imendio.[2][3]
After 5 years, the founders stepped back,[clarification needed] and the business and people continued in a new company called Lanedo founded by Tim Janik and Martyn Russell in early 2009. Mikael and Richard started a new company called TinyBird Interactive AB to work together and focus on OS X application development. As of February 2009 Imendio AB was split into Tinybird Interactive AB and Landeo GmbH.[citation needed] The name 'Lanedo' is based on a roughly phonetic sounding of the letters L, N, and D. These are mentioned as Linux, Networking, and Development respectively.[4]
In 2011, Lanedo joined the Document Foundation's initial Engineering Steering Committee (ESC).[5]
Starting in summer 2012, Lanedo, in cooperation with ITOMIG, supported the town of Munich in the LibreOffice maintenance of the LiMux project.[6]
Lanedo has also actively participated in implementing the OOXML support for LibreOffice.[7]
