Lanedo

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. Their software development had a focus around Linux in general and targeting platforms ranging from mobile and embedded to desktop environments.

01History

In 2003, Mikael Hallendal and Richard Hult were working together on a project management application called Planner. They founded Imendio.

After 5 years, the founders stepped back, 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. 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.

In 2011, Lanedo joined the Document Foundation's initial Engineering Steering Committee (ESC).

Starting in summer 2012, Lanedo, in cooperation with ITOMIG, supported the town of Munich in the LibreOffice maintenance of the LiMux project.

Lanedo had also actively participated in implementing the OOXML support for LibreOffice.

Lanedo was liquidated in June 2018.
