He is an educator and promoter of the standard Indonesian language,[2] and he is engaged in proposing Indonesian equivalents of foreign terms, among others, on websites such as Facebook and Twitter.[3]

Lanin started writing in the Indonesian Wikipedia in 2006 (he signed up with username IvanLanin on February 18, 2006)[4] with his first edits on the article entitled Pajak.[5][6][7]

Shortly after, he became a prominent activist in Indonesia.[1] In 2007, he joined a mailing-list, called Bahtera, in which memberships were closed to Indonesian critics and lovers.[3] By the end of 2008, Wikimedia Indonesia was established by 19 people, Revo Arka Giri Soekatno and him.[8][9] At the Members Summit, at the end of 2008, he was chosen as Executive Director of Wikimedia Indonesia.[8] Ivan took a break from the task at the end of 2009 due to very limited free-time.[1] In the middle of 2009, he was approved by Magister Teknologi Informasi Universitas Indonesia to study towards a postgraduate degree in that institution.[1] Coincidentally, he was also accepted to be an editor in Google Indonesian.[1]

In order to help standard Indonesian be promoted more widely, Ivan started developing a program, called "Kateglo", a mixture of a kamus (dictionary), tesaurus (thesaurus), and glosarium (glossary).[1] He developed the program together with his colleague, Romi Hardiyanto, an Indonesian translator of Firefox browser software.[3] Ivan met to develop Kateglo for first time on May 9, 2009.[1] He wrote database structures of the program in 3 days. Ivan took the responsibility to develop the scripts, while Romi did the debugging.[1]

gollark: The documentation CANNOT be trusted, and I know, I used kbps.
