32+
not only uses Python for running most of their applications but also open
33+
sources many of those Python projects for other agencies (or any
34+
organization) to use. For example, [collab](https://github.com/cfpb/collab)
35+
is a [Django](/django.html) project that provides an
36+
[enterprise application](/enterprise-python.html) for storing and looking
37+

language.
