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 | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
