WMF is made up of several teams. For a list, click "Organizational overview" on https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Staff?showall=1 Some members of some teams might either be or have the feeling of being more influenced by potential top-down priorities. Others less. About engaging with the planning processes and people: For Engineering, the main goals and contacts for Oct-Dec are here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Engineering/2015-16_Q2_Goals That page links to each team's homepages (they are also linked from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Engineering ) which should cover the planning processes, communication/contact info, etc. Hope that helps a bit?
