However, the integration of several existing systems implemented in different programming language and frameworks, providing unique authentication, interface apparency, and search engine, as well as, other back-end features, is not a trivial work.

  77 +The new SPB platform is fully an integrated environment, being very advanced comparing to other related projects and initiatives. For example, the USA government has a platform designed to improve access to the federal government developed software. Code.gov is an interface to organize the USA government projects and, in short, make easy that their users and developers obtain some information and access their source code repositories on GitHub. However, there are not social networking and CMS features, as well as, other communication resources provided by the platform.

  80 +There are two initiatives from Europe: OSOR and OW2. The Open Source Observatory (OSOR) is a community hosted in JoinUp that is a environment powered by the European Commission. OSOR aims exchanging information, experiences and best practices around open source solutions for use in public administrations. Summarily, it helps to find an open source software made available by other public administrations, providing access to information such as news, events, studies and solutions related to implementation of open source software. It also offers forum discussions and community mailing lists, but it does not have an integrated source code repository manager once for the each project has a link to its own external repository (or its tarball file).

  82 +OW2 is a FOSS community to promote the development of FOSS middleware, generic business applications, cloud computing platforms and foster a community and business ecosystem. In short, it aims to facilitate the development, deployment and management of distributed applications with a focus on FOSS middleware and related development and management tools.

That project have tried to develop a platform called QualiPSo Factory but it was not fully completed.
