48   -The SPB is a program released in 2005 to foster sharing and collaboration on Open Source Software (OSS) projects for the public administration. A SPB solution is considered a public good and the Federal Government assumes some responsibilities related to its use. The first version of the SPB Portal was available in 2007 but since 2009 it has had several technical issues. This is an example of the consequences generated by the hierarchical and traditional processes and the lack of expertise of public agents, in particular their from the Brazilian Ministry of Planning (MP), in software development.

52 53 "The authors present 3 challenges in the intro and then go on to expand them. However, the expansion (line 21-43 in page 2), is has pints about all three challenges mixed together. It would be better I think to split it into one para for each challenge. "

57 60 The SPB evolution project started in 2014: a presidential election year and everyone involved was under pressure to show results. Even with the re-election of the Brazilian President, leaderships in governmental agencies ended up changing in 2015. Each one of them had different political agendas which affected the project's requirements previously approved. Besides that scenario of instability, we overcame three distinct issues: (1) achieving the goals which have guided the platform development, (2) widespread belief among the government agents that any project in partnership with a University is doomed to fail, and (3) the rudimentary and bureaucratic deployment approach in the MP infrastructure. Handling the interaction of these elements was challenging and the unstable Brazilian political scenario only made things worse.

In particular, the SysAdmin team from the MP had low technical knowledge to deploy new versions of the new SPB Portal in a timely manner, hampering the benefits of the tool and preventing us from showing off the fruits of the project to those responsible for evaluating it. The requirement analysts from the MP were real representatives of the Brazilian government in the project and their role was to test new features, to provide feedback to the development team, and to report for the MP leaders.
