Hi, welcome to OSM! I'm afraid your answer is too broad to answer meaningfully. If you could explain in a bit more detail what you want to do, and what questions you need answered, you're more likely to get a good answer.

There are no "official OSM experts", since this is a (mostly) volunteer organization.

However, there are several ways to get in touch with people who know about OSM:

Contact a local user group, there may be someone who can help. A map of user groups is available.
Ask on one of the local mailing lists
There are many companies who offer services around OSM. They may be available for consulting (of course this will usually not be free).
Finally: Ask your (concrete) question here on help.openstreetmap.org. Maybe someone can help.

Well, the "map of user groups" is more german centric. But you can also use the "ITO OSM Mapper" tool to see a list of contributors around a limited area (you can sort the names by edits)(tool is free but subscription required)(http://www.itoworld.com/static/openstreetmap_tools/osm_mapper.html)
