[open-science] A Public List of Notable, Senior Open Scientists (with quotes?)

[Jenny Molloy]

I've added a quote column, perhaps we could get a one or two-liner from
those on the spreadsheet who are already here on open-science (there's a
few of you!) about why they advocate open science. If you know anyone on
the list and could nudge them to provide a quote that would be great,
because we can do a nice display on the website and it would act as a
useful resource for people writing about open science.

Equally, if you come across a quote elsewhere you can just post that up
with a link.
