Open source operating systems can trace their ancestry to many trends in computing of the 60s and 70s. If one had to put a face on the concept, it would be Richard Stallman. Stallman formed the Free Software foundation, and developed or commissioned many of the necessary components of a free and open-source operating system.
Note that Stallman doesn't like the term "open-source", since the source can be available but still restricted in what you are allowed to do with it.
