    * Are you willing to follow the Schedule?
Yes.

    * System components the activity depends on.
-S/W -- no additional dependencies other than those that go in the
default build. Some of the important ones that Measure uses are
gstreamer, cairo, pango
-H/W -- strong dependence on the XO1s hardware to be able to connect
sensors (though other alternatives such as USB based hardware sensor
board can be explored for other hardware platforms)
