| 4 | +In this paper, we aims to share our experience designing and developing the new | |
| 5 | +SPB portal by reporting, alongside the technical efforts carried out, our | |
| 6 | +empirical work process and the lessons learned. To summarize and guide the | |
| 7 | +understanding of the main discussions in this paper, we define the following | |
| 8 | +research questions. | |

| 12 | +\item [RQ1:] \textit{Which strategy could be used to integrate several existing | |
| 13 | +FOSS tools to promote the collaborative software development?} | |
| 14 | +% | |
| 15 | +Based on an extensive list of functional requirements defined by the Brazilian | |
| 16 | +Federal Government, we selected some FLOSS systems to form our solution, | |
| 17 | +generating a non-trivial integration among them. We looked for system that | |
| 18 | +together could provide the largest subset possible of the requirements, and | |
| 19 | +were fully aware that we would need to improve those systems in order to | |
| 20 | +provide the rest. We were also convinced that it would be impossible to provide | |
| 21 | +all of those requirements with a single tool. | |

| 24 | +practices to governmental development process?} | |
| 25 | +% | |
| 26 | +The Brazilian government works based on a very traditional way regarding | |
| 27 | +software developing, frequently focusing on documents. We have need to convince | |
| 28 | +them to accept the idea of open scope and empirical development. They have | |
| 29 | +certain expectations about the development of project according to RUP | |
| 30 | +(Rational Unified Process) and PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) | |
| 31 | +approaches, what not match our work based on agile and FLOSS practices. We have | |
| 32 | +created strategies that would support different these organizational cultures. | |
