If there’s commercial sensitivity (partners or competitors being covered), I will disclose this and give you only broad background. For anything else where I am a direct expert, I will happily give quotes. If I am not the best person to help, I will try to connect you with people who are.</p><p>Note: This offer no longer applies to journalists working for <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://geeknews.chat/@theregister" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>theregister</span></a></span>. Publications that publish private correspondence without even having the decency to contact the people being quoted (even after publication) and that frame them as if they were approved quotes do not get help. Sorry to the fantastic folks from El Reg that I’ve worked with before, blame Tom Claburn and Chris Williams. In the future I will only have on-the-record conversations with you and only when it is directly to my benefit.</p><p>Still very happy to help folks working for any other publications in any area where I can.</p>
