There are so many, please forgive me if I forget some names. Besides,
this list is in alphabetic order, and I also inserted those beyond
famous, because I don't want to keep giving credit only to specific
already known "stars".

- Adonay "adfeno" Felipe Nogueira (it's me, ;D), member of LibrePlanet
  Brasil;

- Allison Randal, from FSF;

- Alexandre "lxoliva" Oliva, from FSFLA;

- Anahuac de Paula Gil, Brazilian famous for giving very useful talks
  that provoque people on questioning what they know about Tux, Linux,
  and open source, where in the end he always mentions and favors
  free/libre software philosophy;

- Benjamin Mako Hill, from FSF(?);

- Bradley "bkuhn" Kuhn, from Software Freedom Conservancy;

- Christian Grothoff, talks about GNUnet and GNU Taler and mentions the
  free/libre software philosophy in these talks;

  Communication Congress 32c3 (2015) in favor of free/libre software,
  federated social networks and communications and also on distributed
  ones;

- Larissa Oliva, Brazilian who gives talks on the importance of
  free/libre software and education, although I don't know if she gave
  talks on the importance of the philosophy. Anyways, seeing younger
  people getting interested in this area never stops amazing me;

- Luis Villa, a lawyer and former developer;

- Marianne Corvellec. She gave a talk on LibrePlanet 2017 providing an
  alternative view of the ethics (or lack of) in free/libre software
  movement and in open source development methodology;

  he describes the difference between Secure Boot and Restricted Boot;

- Nelson de Luca Pretto, Brazilian who does research and talks
  describing the importance of free/libre software philosophy to
  education (if and when the education is to be made with computers);

- Shauna Gordon-McKeon, gives speeches on democracy, artificial scarcity
  and free/libre software. As far as I remember, she gave talks both in
  LibrePlanet 2016 and 2017;

- Sva, talks about GNU Taler and mentions the free/libre software
  philosophy in these talks;

- Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo, Brazilian who gives talks about the
  importance of copyleft, community-oriented enforcement and free/libre

I have listed some speakers that I remember just now, not users.

Once again, forgive me if I forget one. ;)
