16 15 OSOR\footnote{\url{https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/community/osor}} and
17 16 OW2\footnote{\url{http://ow2.org}}. The Open Source Observatory (OSOR) is a
18 17 community hosted in the JoinUp platform powered by the European Commission.
19   -OSOR aims at exchanging information, experiences and best practices around the

27   -OW2 is a FLOSS community to promote the development of FLOSS middleware, generic

53 53 The Brazilian government needed to evolve the SPB platform that existed since
54 54 2007. When we started this project, the SPB Portal had about 200 thousand
55   -registered users. For example, we could not just contact these users and ask
56   -them to register an account at Github as well. Moreover, after the Edward
57   -Snowden's case, the Brazilian government approved a specific law decree
58   -(8.135/2013) to rule its communication services, requiring the public
59   -administration to host its information systems to be provided by itself, what
60   -rules out usage of private platforms, specially ones provided by foreign
  55 +registered users. We could not just do something like contacting these users and asking
  56 +them to register an account at Github. Moreover, after the Edward
  57 +Snowden's case, the Brazilian government issued a decree
  58 +(8.135/2013) requiring public
  59 +agencies to host their information systems by themselves,
  60 +avoiding the usage of private platforms, especially the ones provided by foreign
61 61 companies. Therefore, we needed to develop our own solution to cover all the
62 62 requirements, producing a complete governmental integrated platform for
63 63 collaborative software development.
