Lanedo GmbH was a professional open source software development consultancy based in Germany. It operated as a European company with limited liability based in Hamburg. The company had been involved with a number of mobile and embedded platforms over the years including Maemo and MeeGo.[2] Their software development had a focus around Linux in general and targeting platforms ranging from mobile and embedded to desktop environments.
History
In 2003, Mikael Hallendal and Richard Hult were working together on a project management application called Planner. They founded Imendio.[3][4]
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.[5]
In 2011, Lanedo joined the Document Foundation‘s initial Engineering Steering Committee (ESC).[6]
Starting in summer 2012, Lanedo, in cooperation with ITOMIG, supported the town of Munich in the LibreOffice maintenance of the LiMux project.[7]
Lanedo had also actively participated in implementing the OOXML support for LibreOffice.[8]
Lanedo was liquidated in June 2018.[1]
