I'm looking for developers to build & design with me a new cross-platform USB creator application for Ubuntu 16.04 using golang + QML (git).
current design: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-usb-startup-creator

If you are interested get in contact with me.

+Thibaut B. good starting point, maybe the source code can be the base for a special version focused only in Raspberry Pi +Raspberry Pi +Liz Upton10 Nov 2015
has there been a confirmed language of choice for this project. If we do this in c/c++ and just have the libs compiled to each OS type this could be great. Java is nice but not all distro's have it installed by default. many of the actions this application takes on the OS could be done in nix scripts aka ".sh" files. the interface could be made in QT to be compatible with all nix systems.10 Nov 2015
+Patrick McMahon We just started internally the discussion. Right now it seems like we are going to write it in golang + QML.10 Nov 2015- never seen golang. what benefit will this project have using golang over c/c++ or java?10 Nov 2015
- Why I would think c/c++ would work out better every unix/linux distro has a gcc compiler. Many people know c/c++ so support will be there for the project. c/c++ has stood the test of time it will not die. But I could be wrong. I have never used golang so I can't really see the ups and downs of it.10 Nov 2015
Qprocess to run dd or make a extraction with zlib . qnetworkmanager to do your downloads. Maping the USB with udev or some command line thing with qprocess. Mapping the URLs would be fun to either one make a api to these images or look enter in manual . what I mean is make a network downloaded that can look at a list of sites and produce its own json or XML api.30 Dec 2015
