upcoming has terrible metadata, and was eaten by Yahoo! recently
(so perhaps the latter will change the former)

i kind of like evnt.org, i spent a little time last year writing
libraries to talk to its *incredibly badly documented* RESTful API.
but i stopped using http://evnt.org/zool/ after a while. i see a core
of people are still using it though, i am not sure the group that set
it up (with arts council sponsorship) are still actively running it.

It has the nice low-impact thing of being 'taggable' and emitting
decent XML feeds of stuff (append '/_xcal' to the end of event URLS,
and there are inbox/index feeds).

In *theory* it is open source, in practise i don't know if there is a
package release (is python / quixote / cheetah / mysql based) or even
public details for its svn repos. I wrote an RSS/RDF aggregator
component for it which never got used, but that is where it was heading.

There's a pile of links about its innards halfway down 
http://wiki.wirelesslondon.info/NodelSoftArchitecture

ugh wiki comment spam :/
