Summary

John Sheehan won a netbook with Simple Hotline, a service he built using Twilio. The hotline allows people to call in when the weather is ominous and provides updates from the Director through email voicemail messages. This service was built easily over a single weekend and has helped the league save money by only paying for bad weather-related calls. To celebrate this win, Twilio is partnering with Ruby hosting platform Heroku to give away a netbook and $300 in Heroku credit to this week's winner.
