One Community is applying cooperative human relationships 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, Charles Gooley (Web Designer) focused on two pages: The Earthbag Village Tools and Equipmentent and Open Source DIY Earth Dam Design & Construction for Water Retention, Pond & Lake Creation. On the Earthbag Village Tools and Equipment page, he alphabetized the list of tools and equipment and added anchor links to each item on the list, both for the first and second lists. Additionally, he integrated these anchor links into the tool and equipment descriptions. On the Open Source DIY Earth Dam Design & Construction for Water Retention, Pond & Lake Creation page, he incorporated content from the provided Google Doc, including a section on Dam Break Risk Assessment. Earth constructions like both of these are an important part of applying cooperative human relationships with One Community’s open source plans. See his work in the collage below.
Joseph Osayande (Mechanical Engineer) continued helping develop the Vermiculture Toilet designs. This week, the coefficient of rolling resistance on concrete based on the weight of the drawer was determined. Research was done on various methods for moving the drawer onto a platform capable of withstanding its weight and transporting it over a distance, as well as ways to empty the drawer and the potential use of latches for a foldable side. A stand for the winch and holder was also considered. New design ideas for the structure were sketched to address flaws in the old design, and a quick CAD model was created to visualize the proposed improvements. The vermiculture toilets and other sustainable human waste processing technologies form the basis of One Community’s open source model for applying cooperative human relationships. See below for some of the pictures related to this work.
Rizwan Syed (Mechanical Engineer) also continued helping develop the Vermiculture Toilet designs. This week, Rizwan concentrated on the design of reinforcement structures for the vermiculture chamber, with particular attention to the assembly and disassembly of sub-components within the eco-toilets. He developed preliminary CAD models in SolidWorks, focusing on C-channel unistrut reinforcements that allow for lateral movement of removable drawers along the chamber assembly. Adjustments were made to the size of the removable containers to ensure they fit seamlessly with the unistrut reinforcements and could be easily inserted from the front. Rizwan also reviewed AutoCAD plans of the Earthbag Village to check for potential interference or collisions between the removable drawers, reinforcements, and the overall structure of the village. In addition, he began compiling a list of necessary hardware components, including rubber plugs, bolts, and nuts, essential for the assembly of the drawers and barrier sheets in the vermiculture system. The vermiculture toilets and other sustainable human waste processing technologies form the basis of One Community’s open source model for applying cooperative human relationships. Here are a few photos showing examples of his work.
The Aircrete Testing Team’s summary, covering their work on Aircrete Compression Testing was managed by John Sullivan (CBU Chemical Engineering Student) and includes Jonathan Crago (Civil Engineering Student), Preston Thompson (Civil Engineering Student), and Tom Sheppard. This week, Jonathan worked with his team to perform compression testing on the remaining concrete test cylinders and assisted in organizing the concrete testing room. He and his group recalculated the correct mixing ratios and compiled a list of equipment to be purchased. Efforts to gain additional lab access were unsuccessful due to the need for the engineering dean’s approval. Jonathan also began researching Aircrete’s properties and various testing methods, using links provided by his colleague, Tom, as well as previous team documents. Preston met with the team to perform calculations, conduct compression tests, create plans, and compile a list of materials needed for the project. Issues with lab access were communicated to the professor and Dean. Preston focused on volume calculations, creating data sheets, and researching Aircrete. Tom researched Aircrete results promoted by Aircrete Harry, finding a video where Aircrete Harry discusses concrete air entrainment and thickening additives. Although Tom located the thickener, he could not find a formula or MSDS to determine its environmental safety. He plans to discuss the potential use of these secondary additives in an upcoming meeting. Additionally, Tom is working on a document listing independent testing and relevant YouTube video links, and reviewing notes taken by other team members. This team’s efforts are an excellent example of One Community’s open source model for applying cooperative human relationships. See below for some of the pictures related to this work.
One Community is applying cooperative human relationships through a Duplicable and Sustainable City Center that is LEED Platinum certified/Sustainable, can feed 200 people at a time, provide laundry for over 300 people, is beautiful, spacious, and saves resources, money, and space:
This week, Chris Blair (GIS Technician/Horticulturist) continued working with GIS data as part of One Community’s Permaculture Design. Chris completed creating metadata for geospatial analysis images from Ben Missimer, shared shapefiles from One Community’s Dropbox, and images related to the master plan from One Community’s permaculture webpage. He also finished georeferencing raster data updated with a new projected coordinate system and started digitizing the plans from images of the master plan by creating new feature classes in ArcGIS Pro. Roads were traced with lines, while structures were made using polygons. Digitizing the features from these images directly onto ArcGIS’s basemap will begin the process of using geospatial analysis on One Community’s master plan. Proper property modeling and understanding is an important part of One Community’s open source model for applying cooperative human relationships. Here are a few photos showing examples of his work.
Nika Gavran (Industrial Designer) continued her work on the Duplicable City Center dormer window installation plans. This week, Nika continued incorporating insulation into the CAD model. She is preparing instructions on measuring and cutting each piece of wood and insulation while refining aspects of the design and assembly. Her next steps include addressing screws and screw holes, after which she will render each piece fully for the instructions. The Duplicable City Center is a foundational part of One Community’s open source model for applying cooperative human relationships. See below for some of the pictures related to this work.
One Community is applying cooperative human relationships through Highest Good food that is more diverse, more nutritious, locally grown and sustainable, and part of our open source botanical garden model to support and share bio-diversity:

Jiadong focused on replacing the badge on the dashboard and debugging the frontend. During this process, he identified issues with badge management, merged the most recent updates from the main branch, and made necessary changes to ensure the feature functioned correctly.
Lu concentrated on rewriting the code and fixing bugs in the unit tests. In the testing phase, she rewrote the selector functions, chart functions, and other related components. Additionally, she was responsible for assistant team management, which included writing the weekly report and reviewing teammates’ work. See the Highest Good Society and Highest Good Network pages for more on how this relates to applying cooperative human relationships. Look below for a collage of their work.
Reactonauts’ Team’s summary, covering their work on the Highest Good Network software, was managed by Xiaolai Li (Administrative Assistant) and includes Changhao Li (Software Engineer), Dhairya Mehta (Software Engineer), Peterson Rodrigues (Full-Stack MERN Stack Developer), Shengwei Peng (Software Engineer), Shiwani Rajagopalan (Software Engineer) and Vikram Badhan (Software Engineer). The Highest Good Network software is how we’ll be managing and objectively measuring our process for applying cooperative human relationships throughout our social architecture, construction, production, and maintenance processes. Changhao worked on solving multiple PR issues, created the team picture folder, and handled other team management tasks. He resolved a merge issue caused by changes in the development branch. Additionally, Changhao addressed previous merge conflicts, and the PRs are now ready for review and merge.
Dhairya focused on addressing the “Fix Projects find user function” task, he identified the root cause of the issue affecting user discovery within the projects section. He also developed a sort and search function. Peterson fixed a bug in the “Tasks Contributed” section of the People Report. After the fix, only the blue buttons are displayed if the user has no tasks; if the user has tasks, the table will also be displayed. Shengwei did his part demonstrating applying cooperative human relationships as he worked on two different tasks. The first involved adding a new implementation in the backend to protect the admin account. The second task is related to the memory leaking issue in the user profile page.
Shiwani worked on the TeamReport unit test, creating 16 detailed test cases. She verified that the component renders properly, using a mock Redux store and a match prop. She then validated the display of team details when a team is available. For the Active and Inactive checkboxes, Shiwani selected them by their IDs, confirmed they were initially unchecked, and simulated clicks to ensure they became checked. Vikram developed and executed various test cases to ensure the components’ functionality and reliability. His work included writing test scripts, debugging issues, and refining the codebase to improve performance and stability. See the Highest Good Society and Highest Good Network pages for more on how this relates to applying cooperative human relationships. Look below for pictures of this work.
Skye’s summary, covering their work on the Highest Good Network software, was managed by Luis Arevalo (Front End Developer) and includes Abi Liu (Software Engineer), Bhuvaneswari Gnanasekar (Software Engineer), Clemar Nunes (Web Developer), Gowtham Dongari (Software Engineer) and Jiarong Li (Software Engineer). The Highest Good Network software is how we’ll be managing and objectively measuring our process for applying cooperative human relationships throughout our social architecture, construction, production, and maintenance processes. Abi set up integration tests for the mapLocations routes and initiated tests for the getAllLocations, and deleteLocation routes. Additionally, there was a meeting with Harsh to discuss tasks and specifications required for the new weekly summary reporting page, including exploring modifications to existing APIs to better align with new requirements. Bhuvaneswari worked on the task of sending an email when a user account is deactivated from the system. Updates were made to the API (SendDeactivationEmail) and the Router file.
Clemar focused on final testing and verification processes of the task at hand, ensuring the quality and integrity of the code. He also implemented a modal prompt advising users to log out and log back in. Gowtham did his part demonstrating applying cooperative human relationships as he resolved merge conflicts associated with the team location search error, ensuring that his solutions were integrated into the main project without disrupting existing features. In addition, Gowtham addressed an error related to null values in the tangible time displayed on the leaderboard. He also worked on improving the rendering of links in the leaderboard on the dashboard page, focusing on user experience and interaction. Luis worked on unit testing the inventoryController and completed testing the postInvInProjectWBS function and the getAllInvInProject function. Jiarong’s focus was on addressing an issue that required rolling back the code using git, which was found to originate from the backend.

"In order to change an existing paradigm you do not struggle to try and change the problematic model.
You create a new model and make the old one obsolete. That, in essence, is the higher service to which we are all being called."
