          \item Customisations of workflow processes
          \item Better operationalisation of MISP (community management, integration, monitoring)
          \item Fleshing out the documentation and supporting materials
     \end{itemize}
     \item Cerebrate is aiming to fill the void of community/fleet management that we currently have
     \item Definitely no lack of new ideas and improvements, if you want to participate, it's easy to {\bf get involved}
