Rishab Aiyer Ghosh (born 1975) is an Indian journalist, computer scientist and Open-source software advocate. An Open Source Initiative board member, he is Founding International and Managing Editor of peer-reviewed journal First Monday, and Programme Leader of Free/Libre and Open Source Software at UNU-MERIT.[1] Ghosh has undertaken several studies on free software,[2] which he terms "FLOSS" - an alternative term for free software which he is credited with coining. FLOSS emphasizes the essential value of the terms "free" (meaning without cost) and "libre" (meaning with few or no restrictions).[3] Ghosh's work represents an effort to reshape the global understanding of FLOSS, including the governmental and academic spheres.
