| 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. | 3 | +The Brazilian Public Software (SPB) is a program promoted by the Brazilian |
