Sugar Institute Vision
- Fill a house with design students, education students, and computer science students all coming together to work on Sugar.
- Something with work and living space for about 20 people to come together to work together for brief periods (a couple of weeks to a couple of months).
- It could be used for training deployment teams, some weeks for hackers to work together, some weeks....

manageable.
