Film Project Update: Two More Festivals Without a Box
Just completed the submissions for Ann Arbor and Aspen. For these festivals I was able to use the phenomenally useful site WITHOUTABOX.
WITHOUTBOX lets you enter the information about your film once and submit electronically (everything but the film itself but that's coming) to each festival. If you're submitting to more than a couple of festivals, this is an incredible time saver. Not only that but the site provides a calender showing upcoming festival deadlines filtered by whether your film is eligible for the festival or not.
They have support for submission to hundreds of festivals (including some pretty big ones) and seem to be adding more all the time. They also have a larger database of known festivals that aren't part of the WITHOUTABOX submission system (yet) so you can still track their deadlines too.

Integrating Subversion and Roundup
I'm using Subversion for Leonardo and have recently started using Roundup for issue tracking.
I'd like to have some level of integration between the two. The sort of thing I was initially thinking of was being able to associate an issue with a revision and vice versa.
The Roundup wiki gives an example of making something like Version:37 in a issue message automatically get turned into a link to the version control system (or something like ViewCVS).
Because Roundup is extensible in the object types it manages, one could presumably go a step further and have a class called "change" and extend subversion to, every time a commit is done, create a new change object for it in Roundup including the commit message.
References to issues could then be made in commit messages (and the link automatically made). Furthermore, Roundup would facilitate chatting about revisions. Revisions could be classified by topic, assigned to people for review, etc.
