To name but two, Simon Phipps on their Board and V.M. "Vickie" Brasseur who sometimes writes for their blog/eMagazine are spokespeople I like to hear from. That they've rotated board members early and often is probably good too. (The irony is that OSI was ESR's riposte to RMS's FSF. Perhaps with both ESR and RMS out of OSI and FSF leadership, the two groups can work more together and less dogmatic Libre vs Gratis shouting.)
