Excellent papers on cross cultural collaboration.
I have been working on some ideas here
http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Society_as_ecology
Through writing this I've found other people who are working on social
ecology which I feel has a lot in common with open source network
culture. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_ecology

Wade Davis on TED is also interesting regarding valuing diverse
perspectives and participation

For me one of the essential ideas is the shift from broadcast/consume
to participation
I think this is a skill we are learning/remembering now that we are
looking to work in open communities where fit for purpose defines the
kindsof contributions people make rather than specific membership.
