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 http://www.stuartbhill.com/ Wade Davis on TED is also interesting regarding valuing diverse perspectives and participation http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/69 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.
