History[edit]

Feng Office started as The OpenGoo Open Source Project, a degree project at the faculty of Engineering of the University of the Republic, Uruguay. The project was presented and championed by software engineer Conrado Viña.[5] Software engineers Marcos Saiz and Ignacio de Soto developed the first prototype as their thesis. Professors Eduardo Fernández and Tomas Laurenzo[6] served as tutors. Conrado, Ignacio and Marcos founded the OpenGoo community and remain active members and core developers. The thesis was approved with the highest score.

In 2008 Conrado Viña, Marcos Saiz, Sergio Riestra and Ignacio de Soto started the company Feng Office, taking care of the development and support for the OpenGoo project. In December 2009, Feng Office decided to rebrand OpenGoo as Feng Office.[7]
