Frankly, we already have an ownOS. Lot's of them, acutally. They all use GNU/Linux and server different usage cases. Given, ChromeOS is one of them, but being in the hand of Google the value for free software is limited. My experience with ChromeOS is extremely shallow, but what I wonder about is that why would this ownBook not be build open "real", or better more independent free software as it is existing. I.e. a solid distribution, maybe a lean LXDE Qt (if a simple but fast desktop is the goal) on top and mimicking the wanted features of ChromeOS. And innovating on top of that. Maybe it makes even more sense to help make $FAVORITE_DISTRIBUTION total-cloud-enabled. At least you can scan and print properly :D [1] I do not want to take enthusiasm away, and I also maybe totally wrong, but maybe it is worth to think about this. > A crucial point in this is offline capability of the ownCloud web > app. Without apps working offline, a Chromebook is of very limited > use. Totally agree with Jan! Also, I think, Documents would be a key component. Actually, I did not intend to flip my 50¢ here, because I do not have time to contribute on this. But now I did it^^ Cheers Arthur [1] Datamation: Google Chrome OS vs. Ubuntu http://www.datamation.com/open-source/google-chrome-os-vs.-ubuntu-page-2.html - -- XMPP: [email protected] www.owncloud.com - Your Data, Your Cloud, Your Way! ownCloud GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, Holger Dyroff, Frank Karlitschek Schloßäckerstrasse 26a, 90443 Nürnberg, HRB 28050 (AG Nürnberg) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJTox5YAAoJEHQk8YdIVN8juJQP/jidRqc/byvHIm6u9LRGIZT6 NSEnys8V6cFHzztsqG1lpxb4XnA9AIpUxaQqocQCoKofIjx0pTn7NF03bchXQkVY cMDbM+t2HljcygP23WL/Hco8O7aipYGzNjhb1rDzpHXOyB+CYWJ/z42r/oYHSniU j98MtwBvx77jVaqTgNKH+MfCFS6X/NxYj87JnTq/LxfzqA80IdxfDx3F81/npOiN lTKIfg57DCz0yQKXkw0bKGSXBcD3qR4c7diIstPXsoSAQtaOm+yEBH8nKOfEh9tZ XZIRcVxEdno0eO+usHH1EY/SBdt6RoAvybSHfH0t+l2Fc+dpafZY6fdUq8cSGllQ GeKbYMD4uY7BuISg/3XLRU26Py56mauPdWsMMiJUZieiV0FuNHUWyoOE7CMGaQqv Hi14fR407wxWS1v5GirhqJkEsGamnnqMaRzcvPzIsvzqic6AbVc/vjlUndH/Prn9 byvsBISb4lxrwXCWU8Pu68r/Dg9tXQkYAnkOdRf4LGrlXtAtkBcjtzN+FaYhB9I7 oK0ZmoCUdg2O2gDSlllcaS6LuufN7DMViiiAyHwq0ED/9YmmZC0HtM1XFYff9mhD 2oDz6Ue0C1HpPGoruCfOqdDno2klQ16MDBxGIzW0JK1jtyI2goSAipIR1c7Eo4vg UDvPBWkel6jvJTaUIJcH =N047 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.owncloud.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
