 <title>The Yocto Project Open Source Development Environment</title>
 
-<para>
-    This chapter helps you understand the Yocto Project as an open source development project.
-    In general, working in an open source environment is very different from working in a
-    closed, proprietary environment.
-    Additionally, the Yocto Project uses specific tools and constructs as part of its development
-    environment.
-    This chapter specifically addresses open source philosophy, using the
-    Yocto Project in a team environment, source repositories, Yocto Project
-    terms, licensing, the open source distributed version control system Git,
-    workflows, bug tracking, and how to submit changes.

-    <title>Open Source Philosophy</title>
-
-    <para>
-        Open source philosophy is characterized by software development directed by peer production
-        and collaboration through an active community of developers.
-        Contrast this to the more standard centralized development models used by commercial software
-        companies where a finite set of developers produces a product for sale using a defined set
-        of procedures that ultimately result in an end product whose architecture and source material
-        are closed to the public.
-    </para>
-
-    <para>
-        Open source projects conceptually have differing concurrent agendas, approaches, and production.
-        These facets of the development process can come from anyone in the public (community) that has a
-        stake in the software project.
-        The open source environment contains new copyright, licensing, domain, and consumer issues
-        that differ from the more traditional development environment.
-        In an open source environment, the end product, source material, and documentation are
-        all available to the public at no cost.

-        A benchmark example of an open source project is the Linux kernel, which was initially conceived
-        and created by Finnish computer science student Linus Torvalds in 1991.
-        Conversely, a good example of a non-open source project is the
-        <trademark class='registered'>Windows</trademark> family of operating
-        systems developed by <trademark class='registered'>Microsoft</trademark> Corporation.

-        Wikipedia has a good historical description of the Open Source Philosophy
