[SoaS] [IAEP] [Sugar-devel] A Virtual Box solution that works with Sticks

[Caroline Meeks]

I took Sugar Devel and IAEP off the CC list as we have gotten quite technial

We can live without Video, that is a nice to have.

But we must have portability. The student must be able to carry their stick
around to different computers, home to school.
