Amazonas State´s participation in global software development projects

Economics and technology have strongly restructured software development setting. In the last years the movement toward globally distributed software development has gathered a fast pace, which can be verified through the geographic distribution of such projects among several organizations, both big and small. This paper presents a proposal of including Amazonas State - Brazil, so far known only for housing the greatest piece of the world´s greatest rain forest, as a participant agent in global software development projects, offering an alternative source of sustainability to Amazonas State´s economical development.
