One of my clients Zend, the enterprise PHP stack and services player, was interested to know what reporters in the UK it should be talking to. These are the name I suggested, in no particular order. They are all very solid technically.
Tim Anderson – scary thorough, totally gets enterprisey, even UML
Adrian Bridgwater – came out of nowhere, goes deep on developer stuff
Charles Arthur – Lotus Notes hater, cynical git, Guardian top man
Simon Bisson – If its Microsoft related he has an opinion based on playing with the bits
Danny Bradbury – writing tools dork and freelance awesome
Glyn Moody – the Don (Cambridge or Chigaco) of open source reporting
Peter Judge – middeware dork and ace cartoonist.
have I forgotten anyone?

I’d suggest D.J. Walker Morgan, the editor of The-H open source and security site. He’s forgotten more about code than most people have ever learnt and still knows more than anyone I know.
(Oh, and thanks for the mention!)

[…] journaliosts should pop over to James Governor’s blog where he has compiled a handy little list. Just make sure your story is relevant and you know who you’re pitching too…usual […]

Yes, me! I’ve met more CEOs and CIOs than this lot put together. I have interviewed the people who wrote Unix — yes, the original one at Bell Labs, not the sloppy Linus T copy; I’ve met James Gosling four times (once when he didn’t have a beard); I know what two-phase commit is and I taught myself guitar. And I have played harmonica with Lembit Opik. Beat that!

meeting CEOs and CIOs doesn’t make you developer savvy, Jason, it makes you management savvy. but clearly on harmonica duets you win
