The application will install the latest versions of all software listed below as well as add the required PPA's to keep the software up to date. All comments and improvements are very welcome as this is purely a personal project at this point and must be considered a work in progress. I wanted to automate the process on new machines as well as simplify the installation for new users. Selecting and Installing all the extra software on a new Ubuntu computer can be time consuming. This program installs a collection of some of the best Ubuntu software and can be considered to be one of the top things to do after installing Ubuntu. All I can say is a big thank you to OMG! Ubuntu!, author of the posts and Open source community who volunteered to test the indicator and provide valuable feedback to make things better.Automated installation a lot of useful extra software on Ubuntu after the initial desktop install. That was such a big surprise for me which indescribable in words.

Soon I have also found an older post on OMG! Ubuntu about the earlier version of the indicator ( link). On a Monday morning of August 1st while I was reading some tech-related news I came across with a post on OMG! Ubuntu! talking about a weather indicator, it immediately caught my attention and I clicked on the link, what I have seen was amazing, they posted about the latest version of the indicator I created ( link). How did people find out the indicator? It did not take long to discover the answer by accident. However, one question remained unanswered. Around end of July, managed to release version 0.5 of Ubuntu Indicator Weather with some significant improvement and received more people feedback (which is pending to address). Soon, I started to improve the indicator accordingly, and ended up working on Glade to build an UI for the indicator as well as learning lots of new things about geolocation and its calculations. That’s amazing, issues created for improvement and some great feedback received via email. Once in awhile I had discovered some small bugs and pushed the fixes, nothing especial, until last month that noticed some people were interested in the indicator. At the end of the first development phase, The indicator was ready and packaged (for Debian based distributions) and pushed to GitHub. The expert system though is still under progress, it requires more metrics take into consideration when it comes to providing suggestions.īy finishing the development of the service, I ended up creating a simple and small Ubuntu indicator for myself to check weather without specifying the location. The story started in last year November when I decided to create a weather webservice with Spring Boot built on top of Open Weather Map service with additional features such as Heat Index, Wind Chill calculation as well as implementing a small expert system to provide some recommendations according to weather condition. Last week, I have seen a great news about my Ubuntu Indicator Weather and decided to write a post blog about it.
