It's something we're tremendously interested in as we'd like to be able to reach as many devices as possible. In fact one of our favourite devices to play with is the mk808[1] which is natively an Android device. We've had to put Ubuntu on it to get it to play along, but the Android install still performs a lot better (and needs no maintenance from us) so we'd love to just be able to work with that.
What we've done gets Docker over the 32-bit and "ARM architecture" barriers, so Android should be very feasible. Even the 3.8 kernel shouldn't be absolutely necessary since we got the devicemapper version of Docker to work (though there may be other gotchas).
In other news, chromium can now run on Wayland, which can run on Android, and also Docker can run chromium inside it, so Docker-on-Android is the last missing link for some pretty mindblowing use cases.
If anyone's interested in working on that, my email is in my profile, we'll help however we can.

- voltagex_ 13y agoIt actually opens up the possibility of better-than-chroot Debian (or whatever) on Android. Very cool.
- homarp 13y agoDid you look at cubieboard and the whole linux-sunxi thing ?
- alexandros 13y agoThat looks super-interesting, thanks for pointing it out.
