4 -The Brazilian Federal Government has been  
5 -improving its processes for software contracting and development. For  
6 -instance, in 2003, the recommendation to adopt Free/Libre/Open Source  
7 -Software (FLOSS) became a public policy. In 2007, the Brazilian  
8 -Government released the Brazilian Public Software Portal  
9 -(\textit{Portal do Software Público Brasileiro}, in Portuguese), with the  
10 -goal of sharing FLOSS projects developed by, or for, the Brazilian  
11 -Government. Additionally, the Brazilian legal instrument on software  
12 -contracting (known as IN 04/2012) mandates that public agents must  
13 -prioritize solutions available on the SPB Portal. The  
14 -acquisition of a proprietary solution must be explicitly justified by  
15 -demonstrating that there is no suitable alternative on the SPB Portal.  
16 -In 2013, the Brazilian Federal Court issued a ruling  
17 -(\textit{Acórdão 2314/2013}) about contracts between the public administration  
18 -and suppliers using agile methodologies in software development. 4 +The Brazilian Government released in the year 2000 the Eletronic Government
  5 +program (eGov) aiming at democratizing information access and improving the
  6 +public provision quality of service and information. In 2003, the Brazilian
  7 +President created a committee for implementation of free
  8 +software(\footnote{\url{http://www.softwarelivre.gov.br/documentos-oficiais/
  9 +DecretoComite}}) and thereafter the Chief of Staff of Brazil sent a circular-
  10 +letter to all Ministries in which the recommendation to adopt Free/Libre/Open
  11 +Source Software (FLOSS\footnote{In this work, the acronym ``FLOSS'' is
  12 +used as a representative for ``Free Software'', ``Open Source Software'' (OSS),
  13 +and``Free/Open Source Software'' (FOSS).}) became a public policy
  14 +(\footnote{\url{http://www.softwarelivre.gov.br/documentos-oficiais/circulardoministro}}).
  15 +In 2007, the Brazilian Public Software Portal (\textit{Portal do Software
  16 +Público Brasileiro}, in Portuguese) was released with the goal of sharing FLOSS projects developed by, or for, the Brazilian Government. Additionally, the
  17 +Brazilian legal instrument on software contracting (known as IN 04/2012)
  18 +mandates that public agents must prioritize solutions available on the SPB
  19 +Portal. The acquisition of a proprietary solution must be explicitly justified
  20 +by demonstrating that there is no suitable alternative on the SPB Portal. In
  21 +2013, the Brazilian Federal Court issued a ruling (\textit{Acórdão 2314/2013})
  22 +about contracts between the public administration and suppliers using agile

  4 +In this work, we presented and discussed issues experienced during a government-funded
  5 +project, in partnership with the University of Brasilia and the University of
  6 +São Paulo, to evolve the Brazilian Public Software Portal.
  7 +Its contributions are twofold. First, we present the strategy used to develop
  8 +and to deliver an unprecedented platform to Brazilian government. Second,
  9 +based on the results of the SPB Portal project, we point out that it is
  10 +possible to mitigate conflicts experienced in the development environment
  11 +and to conciliate governmental and academy cultures. To summarize our main contributions, we answered in this section the three open questions those guided this paper.

  17 +The SPB portal integrates more than 10 FLOSS tools and provides several features,
  18 +such as social network, mailing list, version control, content management and
  19 +source code quality monitoring. Concerned with the platform sustainability and
  20 +maintainability, the aforementioned 10 FLOSS tools were integrated with minimum
  21 +differences from their official versions and the new developed features were
  22 +sent upstream to ensure an alignment between the portal systems and their
  23 +respective official versions. In the integration process, the main softwares
  24 +were identified, specific teams were formed to work with each one of them
  25 +and each team was composed of students with different levels of skills and at
  26 +least one senior professional.
  27 +
  28 +\textbf{Q2 -- How to involve students in real-world projects interacting with
  29 +real customers?}
  30 +%
  31 +In terms of mitigating conflicts, we tried to show that, as long as the
  32 +university can provide a healthy and challenging environment to its students,
  33 +one may conciliate studies and professional training in universities.
  34 +%
  35 +The students interacted with professionals of diverse fields of expertise, and they were
  36 +able to participate in all levels of the software development process.
  37 +This contributed to a great learning opportunity.
  38 +%
  39 +In our work process, based on open and collaborative software development
  40 +practices, students could negotiate their work schedule as well as count on IT
  41 +professionals to solve development issues.
  42 +%
  43 +Among the students, we have defined coaches for each team and a meta-coach
  44 +(coach of whole project). All coaches, together with professors, have
  45 +intermediated the communication between client (Ministry of Planning of Brazil)
  46 +and the rest of the group.
  47 +After the end of the project, some students successfully
  48 +embraced opportunities in public and private sectors, within national borders
  49 +and abroad. Some other students went further and started their own companies.
  50 +
  51 +\textbf{Q3 -- How to introduce the FLOSS collaborative and agile
  52 +practices to governmental development process?}
  53 +With some adaptations, what we called the ``translation processes'', it is feasible
  54 +to conciliate agile methodologies and FLOSS practices to develop software to
  55 +governmental organizations with functional hierarchical structures that use
  56 +traditional development paradigm.
  57 +%
  58 +Aiming at reducing client questions about workconclusion, a DevOps front was
  59 +created to automate all deploy process and also to work in continuous
  60 +delivery. The government was brought to our work environment and interacted
  61 +with our management and communication tools. For the project success, we
  62 +focused on providing a friendly working environment as well as on showing to
  63 +governmental agents another way to interact with the FLOSS community and the
  64 +university.
  65 +
  66 +\subsection{Lessons Learned}
  67 +\label{sec:lessons}
  68 +
  69 +From the answers of our initial open questions, we can also highlighted six lessons learned to make easier to share our experience during the development of the new SPB Portal.
  70 +
  71 +\textbf{L1 -- The participation of experienced professionals is crucial to
  72 +the success of the project.}
  73 +One important factor for the students was the composition of the teams
  74 +with the participation of experienced professionals.
  75 +%
  76 +On the technical side, the senior developers and designers would handle
  77 +the more difficult technical decisions, creating a work environment
  78 +where the students could develop their skills in a didactic way without
  79 +pressure.
  80 +%
  81 +On the management side, the active participation of professors -- who
  82 +are, in the end, the ones responsible for the project -- is crucial to
  83 +make sure students participation is conducted in a healthy way, and it is an
  84 +instance of leading by example.
  85 +
  86 +\textbf{L2 -- A balanced relationship between academia and industry.}
  87 +The experience of the SPB project led UnB to develop a work style which
  88 +proved to be appropriate for an educational environment that brings
  89 +academia and industry together.
  90 +%
  91 +The highest priority from the university's point of view is the
  92 +students. Considering this, the activities of the project were never
  93 +prioritized to the detriment of classes and other pedagogical
  94 +activities. In summary, we had students working at different times, part
  95 +time, remotely or locally, always respecting their individual
  96 +conditions, but doing the work in a collective, collaborative and open
  97 +way.
  98 +%
  99 +And even under a potentially adverse environment, the project delivered
  100 +the desired solution with success.
  101 +%
  102 +At the end of the project, we noted that the skills developed by the
  103 +students were at the software engineering state of the art.
  104 +After the project ended, we had team members successfully embracing
  105 +opportunities in public, private, national, and international
  106 +organizations, in addition to those students that
  107 +opened their own companies.
  108 +
  109 +\textbf{L3 -- Managing different organizational cultures.}
  110 +In the beginning of the project, the Brazilian Government stakeholders
  111 +had certain expectations about the project development that, let's
  112 +say, didn't exactly match our work style based on agile and FLOSS practices.
  113 +%
  114 +We had to develop strategies that would support these different
  115 +organizational cultures. The
  116 +MP is organized in a functional hierarchical organizational structure,
  117 +typically adopting a traditional development paradigm. Therefore, we had to
  118 +create a translation process between our team and the MP managers who
  119 +managed the project on their side assuming a traditional waterfall
  120 +process.
  121 +
  122 +\textbf{L4 -- Managing higher-level and lower-level goals separately.}
  123 +During the initial phase of the project, the MP team has brought
  124 +strategic discussions to technical/operational meetings that
  125 +were supposed to be about practical technical decisions.
  126 +%
  127 +This produced a highly complex communication and management environment,
  128 +overloading the professors because they were supposed
  129 +for maintaining the MP strategy synchronized with the
  130 +implementation plans of the development team. This was hard, especially because the
  131 +aforementioned cultural mismatch. Mixing both concerns in the same
  132 +discussions caused confusion on both sides.
  133 +%
  134 +From the middle of the project we were able to keep those
  135 +concerns separated, what eased the work of everyone involved.
  136 +
  137 +\textbf{L5 -- Living with ill-advised political decisions.}
  138 +At the initial phases of the project, by political and personal
  139 +motivation, the main stakeholders from the Brazilian government imposed
  140 +the use of Colab to guide the development of the new SPB platform. Our
  141 +team was totally against the idea because we already knew that Colab was
  142 +a very experimental project and its adoption could dramatically increase
  143 +the project complexity. Even though we provided technical reasons to
  144 +not utilize Colab, the MP was adamant and we had to manage this problem. We did massive changes to
  145 +Colab, and at the end of the project we have completely rewritten it to make
  146 +it stable. It is important to notice that the MP compelled us to accept
  147 +a technical decision based only on political interests, without considering
  148 +all the resources that would be spent due to that decision. At the end
  149 +of the project, we verified that Colab indeed consumed a vast amount of
  150 +the budget and increased the project complexity. At the end of the
  151 +project and after our analysis on the decision made by the MP, we
  152 +understand that MP managers are capable of ignoring technical reasons
  153 +in favor of political decisions.
  154 +
  155 +\textbf{L6 -- Consider sustainability from the beginning.}
  156 +In the process of deploying the SPB platform in the MP infrastructure we had
  157 +to interact with the MP technicians. We did several workshops, training
  158 +and a meticulous documentation describing all the required procedures to
  159 +update the platform, however, we realized that the MP technicians
  160 +constantly avoid the responsibility. After noticing the aforementioned
  161 +situation, we organized a DevOps team that completely automated all
  162 +the deployment procedure. We simplified all the platform deployment to a
  163 +few steps: (1) initial configurations (just ssh configuration) and (2)
  164 +the execution of simple commands to completely update the platform. By
  165 +the end of the project, we observed that the MP technicians invariably
  166 +still depended on our support to update the platform even with all the
  167 +automation provided by us. We were sadly left with a feeling of
  168 +uncertainty about the future of the platform after the project ended. In
  169 +hindsight, we realize that the MP dedicated system analysts and
  170 +managers to the project, but not operations technicians. The later
  171 +should have been more involved with the process so they could at least be
  172 +comfortable in managing the platform infrastructure.
  173 +
  174 +
  175 +\textbf{Final remarks and future work}
  176 +
  177 +The portal is available at \url{softwarepublico.gov.br}. All
  178 +documentation, including detailed architecture and operation manuals are
  179 +also available\footnote{\url{https://softwarepublico.gov.br/doc/}
  180 +(in Portuguese only at the moment)}.
  181 +%
  182 +All the integrated tools are FLOSS and our contributions were published
  183 +in open repositories, available on the SPB Portal itself. We also
  184 +contributed these features back to the respective communities, which
  185 +benefits both those communities and us, since we can share future
  186 +development and maintenance effort with other organizations that
  187 +participate in these projects.
  188 +
  189 +Future work should use data produced by the project to validate and evaluate
  190 +how the used FLOSS and Agile practices have impacted the students and the
  191 +governmental development process. For this, we would conduce a \textit{postmortem}
  192 +analysis using the project open data and a survey targeting the involved actors.

  4 +Resumo (Summary): Uma breve descrição do artigo
  5 +
  6 +O artigo apresenta uma visao geral da experiência do desenvolvimento do novo Portal SPB, explicando algumas questões técnicas relacionadas e algumas lições aprendidas durante a execução do projeto.
  7 +
  8 +Pontos Fortes (Paper Strengths): Quais os pontos positivos do artigo?
  9 ++ desenvolvimento de uma plataforma computacional de uso geral em larga escala capaz de gerar um nicho de desenvolvimento de software nacional
  10 +
  11 +Pontos Fracos (Paper Weakness): Quais os aspectos negativos do artigo?
  12 +- falta de embasamento teórico mais detalhado (incluindo referências)
  13 +- falta de visões compartilhadas entre equipe desenvolvedora e equipe consumidora (o viés é da equipe desenvolvedora)
  14 +- questões de qualidade de escrita (informal e de Português)
  15 +- lições aprendidas mais específicas do processo de desenvolvimento
  16 +
  17 +Comentários para os Autores (Comments to Authors): Comentários e sugestões para o autor melhorar a qualidade do artigo
  18 +Alguns comentários gerais e específicos:
  19 +- nome do LAPPIS: "Sofware" -> Software
  20 +- "30 months work on the SPB project" -> revisar Inglês
  21 +- "Nesse contexto, criamos uma plataforma baseada na integração e evolução de ferramentas livres existentes" -> este fragmento informa que os autores foram os desenvolvedores do Portal SPB. No entanto, o MP não participou do desenvolvimento com estudos, sobretudo considerando a visão ágil? E sobre a autoria da versão antiga, ou legado do SPB? Nada foi aproveitado de modo que a autoria do novo portal seja somente resultante deste projeto?
  22 +- A última frase do do primeiro parágrafo da introdução, que menciona sobre metodologias ágeis no governo, está desconexa do restante do parágrafo, que trata de software público. Sugiro revisar isso e melhor argumentar o contexto que os autores pretendem trazer para motivar o relato.
  23 +- "as metodologias de desenvolvimento de software livre ou ágeis, isto é, os métodos colaborativos e empíricos de desenvolvimento de software" -> esta equivalência não é adequada, pois assume-se que metodologias de desenvolvimento de software livre ou ágeis = métodos colaborativos e empíricos de desenvolvimento de software. Além disso, métodos empíricos, que acredito fazer alusão à aplicação da base de experimentação, parece não fazer sentido algum nesta sentença.
  24 +- "vários problemas técnicas." -> técnicos
  25 +- "nao estava mias sendo desenvolvido" -> mais
  26 +- Figura 1 é inserida antes de ser citada no texto e há um espaço em branco após a figura, fora do formato da SBC.
  27 +- "lançamos uma plataforma sem precedentes para
  28 +o governo brasileiro aplicar métodos colaborativos de desenvolvimento de software." -> qual a novidade em relação a outros conjuntos ou kits ou sets de ferramentas que podem ser utilizados para o desenvolvimento de software? Por que "sem precedente"? Qual o impacto prático do Portal SPB? Quais as estatísticas de uso? Qual é a sua motivação ou alvo?
  29 +- "desde o início da computação, a maioria dos desenvolvedores trabalhavam da maneira que agora identificamos como software livre" -> sentença confusa.
  30 +- "Essa forte concorrência entre os fornecedores traz benefícios para os usuários, porque dá melhores garantias em relação à evolução do sistema, levando a uma redução dos custos" -> isso se dá em um cenário de software livre ou FOSS? Existe esta concorrência tão significativa como no mercado de software tradicional/proprietário? Este trecho carece de melhores explicações.
  31 +- "Haviam outros requisitos" -> Havia
  32 +- "funcionaria corretamente se houver" -> se houvesse
  33 +- "Assim, no primeiro momento, desejamos disponibilizar uma versao inicial que poderia substituir o antigo portal SPB" -> mas já não foi disponibilizada? Ainda há módulos a serem construídos? E quanto aos estudos de usabilidade e ajustes pós-implantação?
  34 +- "Analisando todos esses requisitos, criamos o projeto de evolução do SPB baseado em ferramentas de software livre existentes. No entanto, a
  35 +integração de vários sistemas existentes que já foram implementados em diferentes linguagens de programação e arcabouços" ... "o portal SPB foi composto por mais de dez sistemas" -> como se deu a escolha destas ferramentas e/ou sistemas? Que estudos embasaram esta escolha? Foi realizado algum survey com a comunidade de desenvolvedores e usuários? Foi definido pelo cliente? Ou foi uma seleção por conveniência ou experiência da equipe? Isso não está claro.
  36 +- "Nós também estávamos convencidos de que seria impossível fornecer todas as funcionalidade com uma única ferramenta" -> como remediar este cenário? A comunidade de desenvolvedores não poderia participar da evolução do próprio portal? Uma vez que o portal tem por finalidade apoiar o desenvolvimento de software público e com foco em FOSS, por que não foi preparado para que a própria comunidade pudesse manter e evoluir a sua estrutura?
  37 +- "sem confundí-lo" -> confundi-lo
  38 +- "Temos 3 grandes" -> Temos três grandes
  39 +- "No novo portal SPB, cada software tem um conjunto padrao de páginas e ferramentas. Além de acessar as páginas de suporte (como FAQ e guia de instalação) dentro da plataforma" -> deve ser uma frase só que está quebrada em duas. Revisar.
  40 +- "sua evolução pelos resultados métricas" -> ?
  41 +- "cada análise métrica sao públicos" -> ?
  42 +- "informação do no portal SPB" -> do portal
  43 +- "a arquitetura ... re-projetada para fornecer uma navegação
  44 +transparente e alcançar usuários com perfis diferentes" -> o que se entende por navegação transparente? Isso não está claro. E que perfis de usuários são esses?
  45 +- "Um processo de harmonização foi empregado nos modelos de interação de cada ferramenta para reduzir a curva de aprendizado" -> o que se entende por estes modelos de interação? Novamente, não está claro e não permite ao leitor compreender como foi a avaliação com usuário.
  46 +- "Além disso, ferramentas de origens diferentes, que em muitos casos fornecem funcionalidades semelhantes, o que nos levou ao desenvolvimento de uma interface unificada." -> Reescrever.
  47 +- "dos ferramentas" -> das
  48 +- "Nós nos engajamos em seu desenvolvimento" -> ?
  49 +- A utilização de DevOps deveria ser melhor introduzida e explicada.
  50 +- "Como se pode ver, o projeto tinha muitos tipos diferentes de stakeholders que tinham de ser organizados e sincronizados." -> Quais? Por quê?
  51 +- "Essa dinâmica incentivamos aos demais alunos" -> Reescrever.
  52 +- "Entretanto, depois de meses de trabalho e mostrando resultados, eles deixaram de resistir aos métodos empíricos." -> que métodos são estes? O que os autores realmente entendem por este conceito?
  53 +- "... o mapeamento sistemático das ..." -> ?
  54 +- "Observe que este fluxo de trabalho proporcional a nós e aos envolvidos pelo governo brasileiro uma rastreabilidade completa de uma visao de alto nível de cada funcionalidade (requisito) até para o nível mais baixo (código)." -> Reescrever.
  55 +- A seção 8 não traz as conclusões frente ao objetivo do artigo, introduzindo diretamente apenas a listagem de lições aprendidas, sem de fato trazer um balanço sumarizado da experiência relatada. Além disso, muitas lições aprendidas não trazem novidade para a comunidade: quais são as lições específicas e que não foram reportadas até o momento?
  56 +- "No final do projeto, notamos que as habilidades desenvolvidas
  57 +pelos alunos estavam no estado da arte da prática de engenharia de software. Depois que o projeto terminou, tivemos membros da equipe que abraçaram com sucesso oportunidades em organizações públicas, privadas, nacionais e internacionais, além dos estudantes que entraram no empreendedorismo e abriram suas próprias empresas." -> este é um exemplo de trechos trazidos nas lições aprendidas com uma discussão rasa e informal, sem dados mais concretos sobre os pontos colocados. Qual o resultado concreto para os alunos envolvidos? Além disso, há diversos trabalhos sobre a relação academia-indústria e o relato não se preocupou em fazer menção. Para além de diversos trabalhos já publicados em toda a história do SBQS, sugiro este do SBES 2012: "Strategic Alignment between Academy and Industry: A Virtuous Cycle to Promote Innovation in Technology".
  58 +- "Nao aceitar más decisoes técnicas por questoes políticas." -> ao descrever essa "lição aprendida", os autores mencionam que o Colab foi reescrito para ser um "sistema de sistema". Acredito que este conceito deveria ser utilizado com mais atenção. Buscar trabalhos publicados pelo grupo da Elisa Nakagawa e José Maldonado (USP-SC). Ainda nesta lição, os autores apontam que "o MP os obrigou a aceitar uma questão técnica". Esta afirmação é forte. Uma vez que o relato é de autoria somente de um lado do projeto e se a lição é não aceitar, como proceder então com uma avaliação mais crítica? Acredito que o relato deveria envolver os dois lados do projeto (desenvolvedor e adquirente), especialmente neste caso (Portal SPB).
  59 +- "Considerar a sustentabilidade desde o início." -> o seguinte trecho desta lição precisa de mais explicações: "os técnicos MP constantemente evitavam essa responsabilidade". Outro ponto está no trecho "nós organizamos uma equipe de DevOps específica". Por que DevOps é colocado como uma bala de prata?
  60 +- "observamos que os técnicos MP sempre dependiam do nosso apoio para atualizar a plataforma, mesmo com toda a automaçao fornecida por nós. Ficamos tristemente com um sentimento de incerteza sobre o futuro da plataforma após o término do projeto." -> ajustar para "técnicos do MP". Além disso, este trecho não traz uma lição de caráter técnico (ver o uso de "tristemente"). Como se configurou este cenário? Qual o contexto? Por que a incerteza, se o projeto terminou? Quais os próximos passos? Novamente, a experiência carece de uma visão compartilhada entre as partes envolvidas.

  94 +- no resumo na introdução é comentado que foi utilizado práticas ageis. No entanto. nada é apresentado durante o artigo. Por exemplo, nenhuma lição aprendida sobre a aplicação da metodologia ágil é apresentada
  95 +- a ausência de uma parte mais técnica do ponto de vista de desenvolvimento e avaliação da qualidade do sistema. O artigo se limita a descriçãod das funcionaldiades.
  96 +- ausência da discussão sobre manutenção evolutiva.
  97 +- não se explica como foi avaliado o sistema (seria interessante para a comunidade SBQS)

  99 +Comentários para os Autores (Comments to Authors): Comentários e sugestões para o autor melhorar a qualidade do artigo
  100 +Trabalho muito bonito e muito interessante. Parabenizo toda a equipe pela realização. Como artigo científico sugiro que coloquem em valor as dificuldades técnicas de manutenção evolutiva de um software livre e o uso de metodologias ágeis na pratica. Terminei a leitura sem saber exatamente quais as práticas foram realmente aplicadas.
