Re OSM future strategy:
I would be happy to talk to them and perhaps look for synergies.

They are discussing a wide variety of things which have crossover to
Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects including use of OSM in secondary
and higher education, technical matters including building the new editor,
vector maps, imports and operations, data analysis, community and social
issues. Looks like fun.
The main State of the Map conference this year is in Birmingham, England
in September.

In terms of governance stuff, the OSM Foundation is going through a
similar process of long-term strategy as Wikimedia did many years ago:
trying to decide whether to stay small or expand, how to work with
community members, businesses who use OSM data, developers and so on. In
these discussions, frequent reference is made to Wikimedia as a big sister.
