A lot of "industry"-type magazines will have an editorial calendar that they make available, usually a year-ish in advance, via their websites. A lot of the trade mags dedicate certain months to certain topics, which are published on the calendar, so we'd want to look for things like "linux" (obviously) or more narrow topics (an issue on robotics could have a story on the use of linux in robotics, etc). If we have a list of magazines, we could divide it up a few ways and hunt down the appropriate info; if we don't have a list of magazines, someone could start putting one together.
