The term "poky" can mean several things.
In its most general sense, it is an open-source
project that was initially developed by OpenedHand.
With OpenedHand, poky was developed off of the existing
OpenEmbedded build system becoming a commercially
supportable build system for embedded Linux.
After Intel Corporation acquired OpenedHand, the
project poky became the basis for the Yocto Project's
build system.</para>
<para>Within the Yocto Project source repositories,
<filename>poky</filename> exists as a separate Git
repository you can clone to yield a local copy on your
host system.
Thus, "poky" can refer to the local copy of the Source
Directory used for development within the Yocto
Project.</para>
<para>Finally, "poky" can refer to the default
<link linkend='var-DISTRO'><filename>DISTRO</filename></link>
(i.e. distribution) created when you use the Yocto
Project in conjunction with the
<filename>poky</filename> repository to build an image.
