ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

 

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

Highest Good housing, cob construction, earthbag construction, straw bale construction, earthship construction, subterranean construction, sustainable homes, eco-homesOne Community is creating positive change permanence through Highest Good housing that is artistic and beautiful, more affordable, more space efficient, lasts longer, DIY buildable, and constructed with healthy and sustainable materials:

This week, Abhishek Kadian (Architect) reviewed the drawings, renderings, and structures of the Earthbag Village (Pod 1) three Dome clusters and started preparing the relevant files. He updated the section of the three Dome Cluster to synchronize with the 3D model. Furthermore, Abhishek collected information for the four Dome Cluster, initially aiming to create a Revit 3D model that corresponds with the rendered images. The Earthbag Village is the first sustainable village in our creating positive change permanence plan. See the dome cluster renderings he worked on below.

Charles Gooley (Web Designer) focused on enhancing the Water Recycling Net-zero Bathroom page by addressing comments. Tasks undertaken included rectifying the anchor link in the Tables of Contents to ensure seamless navigation to the respective headings, replacing the Structural Wood Lumber Engineering Properties chart, eliminating extraneous spaces beneath underlined headings, updating the Tables of Contents to reflect section relocations, resizing the High Desert Utah Monthly rainfall graphic and relocating it to the right, and rectifying the left margin subsequent to the Tables of Contents. Additionally, he contributed new content to the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering page. This involved incorporating a new section that offers a comparative analysis between traditional geodesic domes and city center domes, encompassing an introduction and frame models, vector loads, weather and environmental effects tests, as well as examinations of snow and earthquake loads, supported by relevant illustrations. Water recycling and the Duplicable City Center are both huge parts of our strategy for creating positive change permanence. Check out the collage below for a look into his web design work.

Khushboo Vyas (Architect) reviewed and reorganized the Earthbag Village page. She broke each component down into distinct sub-components categorized under ‘what,’ ‘why,’ ‘how,’ and specific details within the Earthbag Village Site Map spreadsheet. She also proofread the body text, ensuring high-resolution visuals were correctly accessible through relevant hyperlinks and cross-referenced other URLs. Khushboo provided suggestions, including corrected text and proposed graphic incorporations. Addressing the process sequence for the DIY open-source tutorial, she initiated the creation of flow charts and structuring the order using traditional pen-and-paper methods. The Earthbag Village is the first sustainable village in our creating positive change permanence plan. You can find her work in the collage below.

Loza Ayehutsega (Civil Engineer/Assistant Civil Engineer) undertook a review of comments, removing resolved older comments while preserving the option to restore them if further clarification is required. In addition, she contributed additional points regarding the dam break and dam safety. We feel earthworks are an essential component of creating positive change permanence through water conservation. Some of her work is shown in the collage below.

Julio Marín Bustillos (Mechanical Engineer) advanced the design work for the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering in the sixth row. A realization emerged during this process ” none of the connectors in this row exhibit repetition. Consequently, each node necessitates a distinct variation in hub connector design, a factor that is expected to extend the time required for completion. The same scenario is anticipated for the fifth row, where the absence of repeated designs poses a similar challenge, emphasizing the time-intensive nature of the design work for these specific rows. See images of this hub connector design work below.

Aaron Wang (Fundraising Assistant) continued to help One Community with working on fundraising. We won’t be able to open source creating positive change permanence without funding. This week, Aaron did comprehensive research on eight potential funders: Taylor Swift, Russell Brand, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Moore, Bono, Rosario Dawson, Mark Ruffalo, and Ryan Reynolds. His investigation delved into their sustainability activities, philosophical inclinations, funding records, and the specific organizations they have supported. Following this detailed analysis, Aaron compiled his findings into a report that not only summarized the philanthropic profiles of these individuals but also served as a strategic tool for future networking and connection-building efforts. An important aspect of this week’s work was the development of a prioritization system. Aaron ranked each potential funder based on various criteria to determine which individuals should be approached first for potential collaboration or support, streamlining the approach for future outreach and engagement. You can view this work in the image below.

He raised the SEO for the ‘Global Sustainability Systems’ page from 71 to an impressive 91, this is an important keyword for us, like “creating positive change permanence” is on this page. Content pruning and length balancing were pivotal elements in achieving this improvement. Vishvesh also resolved formatting issues, removing the Table of Contents from two posts in progress. Working on content separately, he rectified a broken link and submitted it for review.

SKYE’S SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAM

This week, Skye’s summary, covering their work on the Highest Good Network software, was managed by Luis Arevalo (Front End Developer) and includes Bailey Mejia (Software Engineer), Fan Yang (Software Engineer), Jerry Ren (Full Stack Developer), Roberto Contreras (Software Developer) and Yao Wang (Software Engineer). Roberto enhanced network security by transitioning the OpenCage API network request to the backend. He implemented error handling to differentiate between frontend and backend errors during API calls, addressing a specific challenge on the initial user profile setup page. He also created a custom function to handle requests without an authentication token, fortifying the logic for security purposes. Yao resolved the text misalignment issue by adding an “i” button to improve the functionality of the blue block. He initiated the development of a FAQ modal, ensuring alignment with project requirements. Jerry manually tested and examined the impact of different savedTangibleHrs values on badgeCollection. He implemented code changes to ensure the smooth functioning of awarding and removal of streak badges. Bailey addressed a critical issue in the user profile card within the reports/people section, resolving abnormal expansion on smaller screens and promptly notifying Jae about the pull request for this fix. He also tested and approved a peer’s PR during the weekly standup meeting, offering assistance to a colleague in need and collaborating with Yao to gather further details. Luis finalized the icons component, ensuring its functionality across various color options. He initiated the process by establishing a new route and controller. Collaborating with Roberto, he created a schema for warnings, choosing to integrate it into the user profile controller and implementing an array for the warnings. Fan completed the task of fixing letters with accents and their functionality in searches, as well as resolving conflicts related to merging and responding to peer reviews on pull requests (PR). The Highest Good Network is how we’ll be measuring and tracking creating positive change permanence, related investments of time, and the components as we develop them. See the collage below for some of their work.
