We then contribute these improvements back to the original project for the benefit of the community as a whole.Īs customers use our software, they provide feedback, submit bug reports, and request additional features as their needs shift.

Red Hat builds upon these open source projects, hardening security, patching vulnerabilities, and adding new enterprise features. We start with community-built open source software that meets the needs, partially or fully, of our customers.

Red Hat developers actively participate in hundreds of open source projects across the IT stack. Linux®, Ansible, and Kubernetes are examples of popular open source projects.Īt Red Hat, we use an open source software development model to create our enterprise open source products and solutions. Many open source projects are hosted on GitHub, where you can access repositories or get involved in community projects. The software is then released under an open source license, so anyone can view or modify the source code. LyX is released under a Free Software/Open Source license, runs on Linux/Unix, Windows, and Mac OS X, and is available in several languages.An open source development model is the process used by an open source community project to develop open source software. On screen, LyX looks like any word processor its printed output - or richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced - looks like nothing else. No more endless tinkering with formatting details, “finger painting” font attributes or futzing around with page boundaries. LyX is for people who want their writing to look great, right out of the box. A broad array of ready, well-designed document layouts are built in. But you can also use LyX to create a letter or a novel or a theatre play or film script. In addition, staples of scientific authoring such as reference list and index creation come standard. This results in world-class support for creation of mathematical content (via a fully integrated equation editor) and structured documents like academic articles, theses, and books. LyX combines the power and flexibility of TeX/ LaTeX with the ease of use of a graphical interface. LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based on the structure of your documents ( WYSIWYM) and not simply their appearance ( WYSIWYG).
