Thanks for pointing us to them - we didn't even know that this project existed. I guess, we'll have a look at what they have to offer. In fact, openthinclient.org once had an internal working title of TCOS - which would have created a mess, hadn't we changed the name.
Being able to run third-party applications is one of main goals of openthinclient. We already integrated a number of applications to run "natively", i.e. directly on the client, for our ThinClient OS, e.g. the GUI for the SAP ERP system, document management clients and others. In order to run applications on the ThinClient there are several options. Some simple applications may be run in a quick-and-dirty way by making them available from a user's hone directory. However, we are currently in the process of making our package build environment available, so that other users can build proper packages, which can then be installed using the package manager. The progress of this effort is tracked here: https://issues.openthinclient.org/otc/browse/SUITE-27. Add yourself to the watchlist of this issue to get notified about the progress.
