The GNOME Project was started in 1997 by two then university students, Miguel de Icaza and Federico Mena. Their aim: to produce a free (as in freedom) desktop environment. Since then, GNOME has grown into a hugely successful enterprise. Used by millions of people across the world, it is the most popular desktop environment for GNU/Linux and UNIX-type operating systems. The desktop has been utilised in successful, large-scale enterprise and public deployments, and the project’s developer technologies are utilised in a large number of popular mobile devices.

History

Lanedo is steeped in experience around GNOME. Our developers originally know each other because of GNOME and it's the community that Lanedo initially began hiring from. Over the many years since GNOME's inception, Lanedo's developers have helped develop integral technologies such as XInput 2 for multi-touch support and CSS themeing in GTK+, memory allocators for GLib and many other features over the years.

Lanedo has not just been involved in the core of GNOME either, our developers have all written and support applications on top of the GNOME stack such as GIMP, Giggle, Gossip and more.
