NTEN, the US based non-profit technology network with some global reach are looking for #fail case studies:

NTEN: The Nonprofit Technology Network

Tell us your #fail story. We need a good story or two about nonprofits working with an outside consultant or vendor on a technology project gone horribly askew. (We'll change the names to protect the guilty.) 

You can see an example of what we're looking for athttp://bit.ly/hsWfGU 

We'll just need 1,000 words of pain and regret by March 31st. Send your pitch to editor at nten dot org.

When I talk to people about the glory of failure, the learning from failure always comes into that first couple of sentences. However I wouldn't to lose the importance of the point about being open to failure in the first place, which I think is coming to a lot of conversations, particularly discussions about the stigma of failure. I agree with your sentiment about failure being potentially start of something.

I am coming to the conclusion that it may be more positive to identify our discussion with different terminology e.g. Learning from Failure.  I understand from the comments, and from my perspective, that society needs to understand that failure is not the end of the line but the beginning of a new order and with that comes optimism and hope as well as lifelong learning. I am quite relaxed if this is shot down as such comments are offerings freely given.

great article in the Guardian recently about NGOs who celebrate their failure (and one who produces a public annual report on their failures!) - http://www.guardian.co.uk/global-development/poverty-matters/2011/j...
