\section{Final remarks}
A Brazilian Public Software has some differences from of an Open Source
Software, in particular the software is considered a public good and the
Government assumes some responsibilities related to the use of this kind of
software. From the software development point of view, the principles are the
same: trend towards decentralization in decision-making, information and
development sharing, and feedback. Therefore, we have designed a platform based
on the integration and evolution of existing OSS tools. Nowadays, the SPB Portal
provides several modern features for the collaborative software development.
