- - Learn about: Our Upcoming Crowdfunding Campaign
  - Learn about the different village models as part of component assembly for human evolution: 7 Sustainable Village Models
  - Visit the open source portals for the first two: Earthbag Village OS Hub | Straw Bale Village OS Hub

This week, the core team reviewed sections of the “Murphy Bed” document, ensuring that the listed quantities of lumber correspond precisely with the written instructions for the lumber stacks. Additionally, they continued updating and expanding the Highest Good Food tools, equipment, materials, and supplies document by adding new items, descriptions for each item and categorizing each item. They expanded the tool list and initiated a formatting overhaul to align it with the structure of previous tool lists. DIY furniture and Highest Good food are an important part of component assembly for human evolution with One Community’s open source plans. See our work in the collage below.

Joseph Osayande (Mechanical Engineer) continued helping finish the Vermiculture Toilet designs. His objective was to finalize calculations in feet for each quadrant of the container when full and for the drawers when full. The amount of force required to pull out the steel metal separator was determined, and a D-ring was identified as a solution for the winch to connect to as the pulling mechanism. Sketches were created for the object that would support and act as an attachment for the winch to the main container, allowing it to move around when pulling out the metal separator. Further research was made on winch operation and the realistic force capabilities, and different types of winches were analyzed. The vermiculture toilets and other sustainable human waste processing technologies form the basis of One Community’s open source component assembly for human evolution model. See below for some of the pictures related to this work.

Rizwan Syed (Mechanical Engineer) also continued helping finish the Vermiculture Toilet designs. He resumed with design iterations of One Community’s vermiculture eco-toilet chamber system. He redesigned the pull handle of the removable drawer to allow bolts to be inserted from the inside, enhancing the assembly’s maintainability. The processing chamber container was replaced with a long rectangular sheet, and viewport holes were added at one-foot intervals vertically to monitor the vermicomposting process. Rizwan also researched options for installing rubber plugs to cover these cutouts, aiming to improve the system’s sealing capabilities. Additionally, he updated his hand calculations for the maximum loading on the chamber system, taking into account the accurate vertical height from the lower toilet to the topmost ceiling of the vermiculture toilet. The vermiculture toilets and other sustainable human waste processing technologies form the basis of One Community’s open source component assembly for human evolution model. Here are a few photos showing examples of his work.

Sajal Shah (Project Manager) continued managing completion of the Highest Good Energy components. She revised and developed a new Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for the Straw Bale classroom project, ensuring that all tasks and milestones are clearly defined and organized. Additionally, Sajal was in charge of an interview with a candidate for the plumbing designer position, evaluating the candidate’s qualifications and fit for the role.

ALPHA SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAM

This week, the Alpha Team’s summary, covering their work on the Highest Good Network software was managed by Sucheta Mukherjee (Software Developer) and includes Gayathridevi Chithambaram (Full Stack Developer), Jordy Corporan (Software Engineer), and Lin Khant Htel (Frontend Software Developer). The Highest Good Network software is how we will manage and objectively measure our processes for component assembly for human evolution across our social architecture, construction, production, and maintenance processes. This week, Gayathridevi focused on implementing a limit-see-all checkbox within the teams feature, which restricts the visibility of team members so that only designated individuals within the team have access to view all other members. This functionality is being developed to facilitate the creation of teams with members requiring specialized support within a controlled group environment, preventing these members from viewing each other even if they belong to different teams.

Lin approved eight pull requests on the HGN GitHub repository, wrote unit tests for the DashboardController, addressed some failed test cases. Additionally, Lin worked on weekly data testing and gained substantial knowledge about unit testing, MongoDB aggregation, and integration testing. The pull requests included Gowtham’s fix on the Weekly Remaining Summaries submission page formatting (#2246), Jordy’s fix on ES6 export syntax (#944), Nahiyan’s dark mode on Badge Management Page Modals (#2243), Weiyao’s permission management for creating users (#2252), Peterson’s bug fix related to an error after searching for a user (#948), Ramakrishna’s creation of different views for the summary (#2259), Nahiyan’s dark mode modals on the Teams Page (#2261), and Imran’s feature to see users in projects (#2263).

Jordy expanded his proficiency in unit testing, focusing particularly on Jest while developing tests for the OwnerMessageController and rolesController. He also reviewed PR#920, provided feedback, and finalized the unit tests for the OwnerMessageController and rolesController to ensure clean and well-structured code. Sucheta did her part helping with component assembly for human evolution as she primarily focused on learning Redux and its implementation. She reviewed PR 2238, which was supposed to implement dark mode for the Owner’s account, specifically for User Management modals; most features worked as expected, but a comment was left regarding an issue where dark mode resets to light mode upon page refresh. PR 2256 was reviewed, noting an issue where dark mode changes were not consistent between pages, reverting to light mode on navigation or refresh, potentially leading to a poor user experience; aside from this, the modals looked fine. PR 2259, which involved creating different views of the summary bar based on the account profile’s requirements for summary submission, was reviewed and approved as it worked as expected. PR 2261, which involved implementing dark mode on the Teams page, was also reviewed and approved as it functioned correctly.

Additionally, Sucheta reviewed the code base to understand how task completion and user removal from tasks worked on the TeamMemberTasks.js file, but it was difficult to determine the cause of the delay in loading the component related to the task of fixing refresh efficiency when resolving tasks, requiring more time for completion. See the Highest Good Society and Highest Good Network pages for more on how this relates to component assembly for human evolution. View some of the team’s work in the collage below.

This week, Shaofeng handled tasks such as reviewing team weekly summaries, testing assignment and automatic dropping of ‘xhoursin1week’ badges in the ‘xhoursxweeks’ components, uploading Xiaohan’s testing documentation, taking over Xiao’s work and testing badges. He also did testing for 30 hours to earn the 2-week badge and 30 hours to earn the 3-week badge, attempting to reproduce the auto-dropping bug and attended weekly team meetings to discuss assigning remaining work, and following up on issues on Slack while testing Summit’s PR.

Summit did his part helping with component assembly for human evolution as he discovered a bug in the frontend development concerning the ‘add intangible time entry,’ which contained an uncaught syntax error among other issues, prompting consideration to avoid using the development for this task. Summit created a new pull request that resolved the issue where the user profile appeared blank when using the frontend development and addressed the new max personal record, as the original one made through a fork complicated testing. Summit continued backend code optimization and further investigated the breadcrumbs issue, with ongoing debugging efforts to identify the root cause by checking several files. Summit made several changes to the backend, including simplifying the max hour and weeks data logic, and identified that breadcrumbs issues might be related to the frontend, leading to ongoing debugging efforts.

Xiao took over several responsibilities from a part-time teammate, primarily focusing on testing all badges in the badge table to verify their functionality and accuracy, addressing potential issues within the system to ensure that each badge meets the required standards. In addition to his testing duties, Xiao explored various features of Microsoft Azure as part of his preparation for a critical project aimed at eliminating duplicate badges from the system, involving research into different strategies to enhance the database management processes to streamline operations and maintain the integrity of the badge data.

SKYE’S SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAM

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 component assembly for human evolution throughout our social architecture, construction, production, and maintenance processes. Abi assisted Luis with resolving a complex issue regarding testing a method in the inventory controller, where the test would run indefinitely, causing it to abort and fail. He then started setting up the unit testing files for the map locations controller and began testing the getAllLocations, deleteLocation, and putUserLocation methods. Additionally, he reviewed pull requests 945 and 928 in the backend repository.

Bhuvaneswari focused on reviewing the bugs document and choosing a feature to develop, specifically the feature that sends an email to managers and administrators when an account is deactivated. Clemar did his part supporting component assembly for human evolution as he added a new permission (showModal) to a user’s profile and sent this update to the server to be stored in the database. Clemar also worked on integrating a reminder modal for saving changes to the Permissions Management page. Gowtham completed detailed reviews of several Pull Requests, including #2241, #919, #945, #2224, and #926, with PRs #2224 and #926. Jiarong’s work focused on making columns editable by the owner on the User Management Page for the HGN Software Development project.

Luis worked on unit testing the inventory controller and encountered issues with the test timing out. He worked on preventing duplicate entries from being submitted and ensured deactivated warnings would still count to prevent duplicates. Additionally, he addressed an issue with the cancel button, which previously hid the entire modal.
