This looks fantastic. One of my favorite aspects of Chromium OS is its user interface. I am excited to get something like that with the power of Ubuntu behind it!
Looks quite nice! I've always found Chrome/Chromium OS a pain as a developer due to the amount of effort required to get a suitable development environment working.

How are you handling updates though?

Ubuntu is very much a release based distribution, and Chrome OS is rolling release.

Seems a little similar to galliumOS https://www.galliumos.org/
I think the difference is that this isn't only targeted at existing ChromeOS devices. However, both make me want to try a ChromeBook.
Especially now that they are moving into full HD screens and 4/32 configs instead of 2/16. That was a horrible idea. Oh, and away from those Atom processors. This most recent gen and next gen should (IMO), be significant upgrades.
Is there a reason this must be an ISO? or can it be repackaged as an "apt-get install cublinux" and be available on an existing Ubuntu system (perhaps as just another session)?

There's a debian repository at https://bintray.com/cublinux/deb but I didn't find a master/virtual package.
