-The Brazilian Public Software is a program by the Brazilian Federal

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