The first step was to replace open sources with Microsoft softwares… this was one of the first thing the Brazilian government did after the coup.
Hopefully there is plenty of groups and collective (tech, artistic and academic) interested in the open knowledge concept and something interesting will arise from this.
Some info about this decision:
