Take a look at LWN.net. These folks are all there, in positions of influence. Those of us who travel to the US should make an effort to meet these people.

Dear Friends,
As community it is time for us to look beyond Richard Stallman.
There are more important and smarter people around who are worthy of our
efforts. To wit, Nina Paley, Allison Randal, Karen Sandler, Rob Weir...
These people are a league above Stallman. Rather than waste our efforts on
Stallman we should be starting a dialogue with these other more important
folks.

You've piqued my curiousity - who are those people, and why are they
more important than Stallman? Do you know that any one of them is considering
a trip to Israel?

I've personally never heard of any of these people, but maybe that doesn't
say much other than my world view is a bit narrow... Looking on the web for
these people, I discovered that apparently Nina Paley's father was the mayor
of Urbana, Illinois, while I was living there as a toddler. Any other
interesting things I should know about them? :-)
