One Community is facilitating component assembly for human evolution 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, 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.

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.

Changhao reviewed previous pull requests, created the team picture folder, and reported work progress during the weekly team meeting. Dhairya worked on resolving the “Fix Projects find user function” task. He analyzed the issue and identified the underlying cause of the problem hindering user discovery within the projects section. Hetvi resolved errors related to ‘permission’ and ‘timeout,’ completed the permission test case for getWeeklySummaries, addressed an error in timeUtil.js after merging code from the development branch. Hoang did their part supporting component assembly for human evolution as they completed the final subtask to fix the fetching of weekly summary reports when changing the dashboard view, verified the effectiveness of all subtasks, submitted pull requests to both the frontend and backend repositories, and recorded media to document the changes.
Peterson fixed a bug on the user profile page and the teams tab, where the ‘Assign Team’ button’s modal caused the ‘Save Changes’ button to be disabled across all tabs when a user’s own account was added to a team. Shengwei investigated and worked on fixing the warning message issue in the Quick Setup Modal, identifying additional problems related to the lack of frontend data validation. Shiwani did her part for component assembly for human evolution as she worked on the TeamMemberTasks unit test, covering 16 distinct test cases, ensuring the component rendered without crashing using a mock Redux store She also validated the presence and corrected display of various headers.
Vikram focused on unit testing for the WeeklySummaryOptions.jsx and ToggleSwitchContainer.jsx files, implementing various test cases to ensure functionality and reliability, writing test scripts, executing tests, debugging issues, refining the codebase, and working on pull request reviews and some PRs.

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.
