Thanks for the link! (A bit belatedly - here six months later, via Twitter.)
A lot of thought-provoking stuff there. I realize development is probably keeping you busy, but I for one would love to hear more about how you're applying principles of biomimicry and sustainability in your Web development; something I'm trying to fumble towards myself. |

I'm scrambling a developers community to crowd source a single hub suite that combines open source, social networking, solutions vetting, gamification and crowd funding to expedite the resolution of all sociological and ecological issues in the world today.

"This paper examines the use of biomimicry in software engineering. By adopting the models of nature, we might hope to work more sustainably and produce more sustainable products. Could this be a way to the paradigm shift we have been looking for? To this end, perhaps nature and biomimicry could be super system metaphors for the development of sustainable software products."

Our team is using similar techniques for our work, utilizing agile methodologies and evaluating our processes against Life's Principles. It is an evolving process, but I think it is already paying off. Agile and LP are such a natural fit together, one idea can easily be leveraged to promote the other within an organization.
