It all began in 2003 when Mikael Hallendal and Richard Hult were working together on a project management software called Planner. With a shared passion for development and GTK+, Hallendal and Hult created Imendio was formed. After 5 years of building up the company, the founders decided they wanted to step back for personal reasons. The business and people continued in a new company called Lanedo founded by Tim Janik and Martyn Russell in early 2009.
In 2011, Lanedo joined the Documentation Foundation TSC (Task Steering Committee)[3] and became much more involved in the future of LibreOffice.
