«DevOps» term originated from conference named «DevOps»: http://www.jedi.be/blog/2009/12/22/charting-out-devops-ideas/ http://www.jedi.be/blog/2009/12/22/charting-out-devops-ideas... Wikipedia quotes description of tne conference, not a description of DevOps role. However, if you read carefully original article, you will see that main idea was to close gap between ops and dev team by bringing dev techniques, such as Agile, to ops team. So, DevOps IS developer with Ops knowledge.
