The Brazilian government needed to evolve the SPB platform that existed since 2007. When we started this project, the SPB Portal had about 200 thousand -registered users. For example, we could not just contact these users and ask -them to register an account at Github as well. Moreover, after the Edward -Snowden's case, the Brazilian government approved a specific law decree -(8.135/2013) to rule its communication services, requiring the public -administration to host its information systems to be provided by itself, what -rules out usage of private platforms, specially ones provided by foreign +registered users.
