3   -The Brazilian Public Software (SPB) is a program promoted by the Brazilian Federal
4   -Government to foster sharing and collaboration on Free/Libre/Open Source
5   -Software (FLOSS) solutions for the public administration. On the one hand,
6   -Brazilian Public Software has some differences from other FLOSS projects. In
7   -particular, the public software is considered a public good and the Federal Government
8   -assumes some responsibilities related to its use. On the other hand, the
9   -software development principles are the same: the trend towards
10   -decentralization in decision-making, information and code sharing,
11   -and continuous feedback. In this context, we have designed the SPB Portal, a platform based
12   -on the integration and evolution of existing FLOSS tools. Nowadays, it
13   -provides several modern features for software collaborative development,
14   -helping the Brazilian public administration in sharing its solutions. In this
15   -paper, we present this integrated software development platform that was
16   -developed for the SPB program by a heterogeneous team composed by professors,
17   -master students, undergraduate students, and professionals from FLOSS
18   -communities. The development of this platform used several FLOSS applications,
19   -providing a non-trivial integration among them. This effort has also produced
20   -several new features that were contributed back to these FLOSS applications. In this experience report, alongside
21   -the platform architecture, the features, and the user experience challenges,
22   -we also discuss our work process, based on agile and free software
23   -development practices, and the lessons learned in 30 months of work on the SPB
24   -project.
