I hadn't heard of Brown Paper Tickets, might use it for something in the future. I would love to have a ticket management interface built into launchpad or the loco directory. In terms of proprietary platforms, it isn't clear to me what Eventbright is built on, I can see they are using the JQuery open source javascript framework and store their images in the Linux based Amazon S3 system. It could all be written in Django, PHP, or Ruby and they might be contributing back tons of patches to all of the open source components they built their very competent web service on. Is it ideal? No. Is it evil? I have no evidence to suggest that it is. Is it appropriate for the event we are working on? Yes. “Ubuntu” isn’t really a decision making entity, but the team organising the event including me all decided to use EventBright because it works and would be familiar to the audience we want to attract.

Just sayin' if you want to support the community, it makes sense to use a vendor which shares those sensibilities.
