2   -The Brazilian Public Software is a program by the Brazilian Federal
3   -Government to foster the sharing and collaboration on FOSS solutions for
4   -the public administration. In this paper, we present an integrated
5   -development platform that was developed for the program. The development
6   -of this platform used several FOSS applications and contributed
7   -features back to them. We discuss the development methodology, platform
8   -architecture, and the user experience efforts carried out.
  2 +The Brazilian Public Software (SPB) is a program by the Brazilian Federal
  3 +Government to foster the sharing and collaboration on Free and Open Source
  4 +Software (FOSS) solutions for the public administration.

  6 +In the one hand, Brazilian Public Softwares have some differences from FOSS
  7 +projects, in particular the software is considered a public good and the
  8 +Federal Government assumes some responsibilities related to its use. In the
  9 +other hand, the software development principles are the same: trend towards
  10 +decentralization in decision-making, information and development sharing, and
  11 +continuous feedback.
  12 +%
  13 +In this context, we have designed a platform based on the integration and
  14 +evolution of existing FOSS tools. Nowadays, the SPB Portal provides several
  15 +modern features for software collaborative development, helping the Brazilian
  16 +public administration to share its solutions.
  17 +%
  18 +In this paper, we present this integrated software development platform that
  19 +was developed for the program by a heterogeneous team composed by professors,
  20 +master students, undergraduate students and professionals from FOSS
  21 +communities. The development of this platform used several FOSS applications,
  22 +providing a nontrivial integration among them, as well as, have generated
  23 +several contributed features back to them. In this experience report, alongside
  24 +the platform architecture, features, and the user experience efforts carried
  25 +out, we also discuss our work process, based on agile and free software
  26 +development practices, and the lessons learned in 3 years work on the SPB
  27 +project.
