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? :-)
