Brazilian Public Softwares have some differences from Open Source Softwares,
in particular the software is considered a public good and the Federal
Government assumes some responsibilities related to its use. Anyway, the
software development principles are the same: trend towards decentralization in
decision-making, information and development sharing, and feedback. In this
context, we have designed a platform based on the integration and evolution of
existing OSS tools. Nowadays, the Brazilian Public Software Portal provides
several modern features for software collaborative development.
