In July google announced that they were working on Google Chrome OS, an open source operating system for people who spend most of their time on the web.
Google are open-sourcing the project as Chromium OS. They are doing this early, a year before Google Chrome OS will be ready for users, because they are eager to engage with partners, the open source community and developers. As with the Google Chrome browser, development will be done in the open from this point on. This means the code is free, accessible to anyone and open for contributions. The Chromium OS project includes current code base, user interface experiments and some initial designs for ongoing development. This is the initial sketch and we will color it in over the course of the next year.
