Abstract

This paper presents an approach to manage aspect related to software projects for public administration under the notion of service providers, following Venezuela state laws and government lines. The nation is particularly interested in free software in order to increase technologic sovereignty and endogenous development. On the one side, it is needed the use of tools and methods that allow an inclusive management for these aspects, and the participation of different communities, such as strategic planning and technologic prospective. On the other side, it is important to include some other management elements for software development,which will be brought in from a diversity of software development methods and models such as Extreme Programming, Rational Unified Process, and MoProSoft; as well as from practice and experience. This approach is being implemented by the Free Software Factory of the NationalResearch and Development Center for Free Technologies, which gives support to many Venezuelan official entities and communities. In this manner, the proposal has also fed fromthe creativity and learning generated for the praxis from this center which has three main process for software projects, they are, project management, specific project administrationand application development based on component use, this last one makes easier the use of already existent source code.
