As announced at our event at San Francisco City Hall last Thursday, Twilio has partnered with the City of San Francisco for a developer contest focused on innovation using the Open311 API and Twilio API to build apps and new functionality.  We are challenging developers to combine our APIs for the chance to win a Netbook.

About Open311

Open311 is a form of technology that
provides open channels of
communication for issues that concern public space and public
services,and refers to a standardized technology for
location-based collaborative issue-tracking.

By offering free web API
access to an existing 311 service, Open311 is an evolution of the
phone-based 311 systems that many cities in North America offer.  Learn more here…

We’ve also got a conversation going on the contest in our forum, so feel
free to chime in.

How to Enter the Contest

Developers have until 11:59pm on Sunday, May 23rd, to submit
an application that uses Open311 and Twiio to Twilio for the chance to win some sweet
prizes.  Developers may submit as many entries to the
contest as they wish, but can only win one prize.  In the case that
several submissions from a single developer make it to the finalists
circle, only the highest ranking prize will be awarded.
