In fact, he was one of the five people who coined the term 'Open Source.' Ockman is coeditor of the book 'Open Sources: Voices From the Open Source Revolution,' and frequently takes time to staff the Penguin Computing help desk to stay abreast of front-line activities on the battlefield between Linux and proprietary OSes.
