Releasing the Chromium OS open source project
11/19/2009 10:31:00 AM
In July we announced that we were working on Google Chrome OS, an open
source operating system for people who spend most of their time on the
web.

Today we are open-sourcing the project as Chromium OS. We are doing
this early, a year before Google Chrome OS will be ready for users,
because we 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 our 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.
