But they have a calendar <http://www.embeddedsystems.com/calendar.htm>; that shows an ad close of 2/7/2000 for March with a "Watch Point" on "Embedded Operating Systems", which is the opportunity. Note that I said it was an opportunity for a sidebar. It would be better if there were someone tracking these things, or a central place we could put calendar references so that interested people could specifically target topical issues (this goes for all periodicals, not just Penton's). May has an opportunity for anyone doing CompactPCI on FreeBSD. June has an opportunity for anyone doing FreeBSD with "system on a chip". July has "Java and Embedded Systems" and "Navigation". August would be good for FreeBSD cross-compilation tools and remote debugging. Etc.
