David is considered the founder of the open education movement.  He was the original creator of the Open Publication License, which was the inspiration for Creative Commons. He is also the "Chief Openness Officer" at Flat World Knowledge. He recently opened a charter school called "The Open High School of Utah," which is completely online and uses only OER. He is a big proponent of OER, but he agrees that an intermediary step like open textbooks is necessary. It can be hard to get ahold of him, but it's worth it.

Diane has produced a number of studies on OER, and she just began a study on our campaign to determine the success of organizing professors around the issue of affordability. Her work is criticized by many of the intellectual leaders in the open ed movement, because she is conservative about the potential for OER use.  She shares our belief that professors are not going to switch straight from traditional textbooks to OER.

College bookstores are another piece of the puzzle.  Their job is to get book assignments from faculty, and then deliver the books to students.  As education goes digital, their business model is in for a serious change, and it's Mark's job to figure out how they will survive in the future (including how to incorporate OER). College stores add a different perspective on the publishing industry, so he is definitely worth contacting.

Preston is a well known economist and author of open textbook www.introecon.com. He is a sharp critic of publishers for being too greedy, and has been very vocal in our project for the past year.  He recently took a leave from Caltech to head up research at Yahoo, but I think he is teaching this semester.

MERLOT is a repository of digital learning materials (merlot.org), somewhat similar to connexions. The difference is that MERLOT only catalogues materials and links out to them, while CNX actually hosts the content. MERLOT is great in theory - it provides a mechanism for peer & user review, and even has an editorial board to review materials. Gerry is the visionary behind it.
