=== Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot Alpha 2 Review, Screenshots, Download Links ===
Manuel Jose from Tech Drive-In blog reviews the new Oneiric Ocelot
Alpha 2 release. He notes that although the system in general became
snappier, it nevertheless collected few annoying bugs as well. Two of
these problems seem to be around keyboard handling, as trivial key
combinations behaved for Manuel in a wrong way.
Additionally, Manuel mentions some of the new software packages and
software versions in the new Alpha release, such as Gnome 3,
Thunderbird and LightDM.

=== Gwibber Gets Revamped For Ubuntu 11.10: Faster, Lighter, Prettier ===
Joey Sneddon from OMG Ubuntu reviews the new edition of Gwibber that
is coming up in the next Ubuntu release. He overviews the
architectural changes, reasons for those. He reviews the application
and mentions such features as lower memory use and much nicer
graphics.
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/07/gwibber-revamped-ubuntu-11-10/
=== David Baucum: Features needed in Thunderbird to replace Evolution ===
David argues in his post, that while "Evolution has a very solid
feature set, and great usability and integration, its just some nasty
quirks that pop-up from time to time that keep it back". He notes,
that changing the email client altogether might be too drastic, but
also possibly inevitable in this case.
He also reviews Thunderbird, which is to be the default email client
in Oneiric Ocelot. He points out that while Gmail integration was
quite easy and straightforward, there's no calendaring application by
default, and while Lightning plugins provides that, there's no easily
configured synchronization with Google Calendars. In addition, he
reviews other features in Thunderbird and explains what features need
to be integrated, in his opinion, to make Thunderbird viable
replacement option for Evolution.
