That yellow man on the front of this month's cover is part of the logo for Jabber--a new Instant Messaging technology. A feature article by Doc Searls talks in-depth about the combination of embedded Linux, XML and Instant Messaging. Also on our cover is the Axis 2100 digital web camera, which is reviewed by Jason Schumaker, and (at the very top) Kerbango's web radio. Both the Axis camera and the Kerbango radio run on embedded Linux.
