The best way to reach me is via email to bruce at perens dot com. If you don't hear back from me, try writing again, or call. It's not that I don't like you, it's because I'm so busy that I sometimes miss a message. Also, since spammers have ruined the reliability of email for everyone, there's a chance that your message got stuck in my spam filter or wasn't delivered.
My direct phone number is
1-510-4PERENS
This rings in my home and office.
Please be conscious of the California time zone, the line will
refuse calls when the family would be asleep.
Write me if you need my cell number. Press are especially welcome.
My GPG public key is here. It is to be used to identify me. Please do not use this key to send me any sort of secret unless I've already agreed to receive it. For some reason the people I most regret communicating with can be identified by their desire to protect email conversation using cryptography. I may discard unsolicited cryptographic messages without reading them.
I will enter into bilateral non-disclosure agreements routinely for customers and business partners, and sometimes when this is necessary for some Open Source leadership issue. NDAs must be bilateral, I won't agree to any terms that are not also binding upon you.
I have some SIP equipment and can access Skype when necessary, but don't yet have that stuff up all of the time.
