I've got one in the works, check it out at
http://advocacy.postgresql.org/casestudies/monsterlabs/

I'd like some feedback before we put up links to it.

Marc should have a list of these. We did win the 2002 Linux New Media
Award.

Hmm... this is a tricky one. I'd say that the main leadership is whats
commonly referred to as the "core group" which includes Marc Fournier,
Tom Lane, Vadim Mikheev, Bruce Momjian, and Jan Wieck.  After that you
have highly active folks in different areas like Neil Conway, Peter
Eisentraut, and Joe Conway on the development side, and Justin Clift and
Josh Berkus on the advocacy side, though I don't think there is a strict
organization at that point, since a lot of people are involved in
multiple areas.
