Chromium OS Coming to the Pine64 Soon! - tohipfortheroom - 05-15-2016
So we've been in the kitchen cooking up something nice for all you Pine 64 users. I am Dylan Callahan and I am the founder, developer and project manager for the Chromium OS for All SBC project. I am here to let all Guys and gals that love your Pine 64. That an awesome operating system is headed your way!
Little brief background on us we started making images for the Raspberry Pi 2, and with the success of that project we have decided tonight only focus on the Raspberry Pi line of products but now also focus on single board computer from across the community such has the awesome pine 64.
We are chromium OS for all SBC’s. We started as a simple Reddit post. We have grown to be featured on Lifehacker and many online websites, We even made it into MagPi. We are a group of Hobbyist, that love developing and troubleshootin and most of all creating images of the Chromium operating system for small single board computers. Now a timeline for this release Is within the next 2 months. now that may sound like a lot of time, but trust us the wait will be worth it. These images will support the 1GB and 2GB models. We'd like to think the Pines 64 Founders for their enthusiasm and support of this project.
Now we normally name our releases after famous comedians. However we are going to be doing something different. We want the pine 64 community, to help us name these new releases, so if you have any great ideas for the code name of these new images, feel free to drop a comment.
The next thing I need to talk to you guys about is simply we will need some beta testers so if you are interested please send me a message and when the time comes we will send you a link to a test image, who will then need you to tell us what needs to be fixed.
This is a very exciting time, I hope you guys will visit our website for updates chromiumosforsbc.org, Subscribe to our Reddit Channel. /r/chromiumosforsbc. So if you guys have questions answer and i'll try my best to answer all of them.

Why not name them after famous landscapes. Being an Aussie, I have a few suggestions:
Opera House (not very specific sadly)
Uluru
Then there's other parts of the planet:
Golden Gate
London Bridge
Taj Mahal
Rapaniu
There are literally thousands of places / names you could choose.

In Chrome OS you got the Chrome Store, with its own applications.
Android apps wont run on any other OS.
What might happen is that there might be a version of the app for Chrome OS, in wich case you will probably find it in Chrome Store.
As for the naming my sugestion is the natural satellites of the Solar System.

Naming suggestion: coniferous trees of the division Pynophyta: cedar, cypress, fir, juniper, kauri, larch, pine, hemlock, redwood, spruce, and yew, but, of course, alphabetically (pasted from Wikipedia from my mobile)

There's a rumor that Chrome OS will support Android App in the future and I believe it

It isn't rumor and has been confirmed. In addition to that link there are:

http://www.businessinsider.com/google-brings-play-store-to-chrome-os-2016-5
Google stated a couple of years ago this was their intent.

That's really cool! Excited about this.

I like cedar.
"Cedar for Pine64" sounds ironically catchy.
