ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is creating a free-shared future 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:

• • • Learn about: Our Upcoming Crowdfunding Campaign
    • Learn about the different village models and creating a free-shared future: 7 Sustainable Village Models
    • Visit the open source portals for the first two: Earthbag Village OS Hub | Straw Bale Village OS Hub

This week, Chanikya Sita (Volunteer Civil/Transportation Engineer) continued working on the Sustainable Roads and Sustainable Parking Lot Adaptation Guide and the Land Purchasing and Transportation Infrastructure Due Diligence document. He worked on applying supervisor feedback to the sustainable roads and parking lot adaptation guide. Changes included converting all linked tables to screenshot images and organizing them into a dedicated images folder in the shared Dropbox. An introduction section was added to the document along with a mini table of contents listing all major headings and subheadings in the title case. All bullet point lists were reformatted to use proper Google Docs list formatting, and extra line item spaces were added before each heading to match the One Community website formatting style. All references were hyperlinked to their official online sources and backed up as PDFs in a resources folder in the shared Dropbox. Underlined text and formatting inconsistencies throughout the document were also identified and corrected. This work supports creating a free-shared future by improving the accessibility, organization, and reliability of open source transportation and infrastructure resources. See below for some of the pictures related to this work.

Devendranath Chowdary Maganti (Data Analyst) continued working on the Highest Good Energy and Aircrete webpages by integrating new content, revising existing sections, and incorporating the latest project updates and visualizations. He reviewed the Highest Good Food documentation and developed the Highest Good Food Timeline Dashboard by organizing project data into visualizations that support timeline analysis and project planning. Devendranath also studied the Highest Good Society documentation to build an understanding of its structure and requirements as part of his training. In addition, he supported the training team by assisting with onboarding activities and completing regular Administration Team responsibilities, including administrative tasks and weekly workflow support. His efforts contribute to creating a free-shared future by making sustainability resources more accessible while strengthening collaboration, knowledge sharing, and volunteer development. Below, you’ll find some images of this work.

Sagar Chavan (Transportation Engineer) continued working on the Sustainable Roadways and Sustainable Parking Lot Designs project with Chanikya for the Earthbag Village stormwater management, rainwater harvesting, and sustainable roadway design materials. He reviewed the existing stormwater management plans, hydraulic calculations, CAD drawings, and supporting documentation to understand the current design requirements and related project information. Sagar worked on reviewing the integration of rainwater catchment, drainage, swales, and greywater system details while maintaining the existing Earthbag Village design and layout. Sagar reviewed the requirements for the Stormwater Management LEED points tutorial, cost analysis details, and the organization of technical information for the open-source documentation. He also worked with Chanikya on reviewing sustainable roadway and parking lot design materials, including drainage, grading, and stormwater management connections within the overall infrastructure plans. His work supports creating a free-shared future by strengthening practical, open source guidance for sustainable transportation and integrated water management systems. See below for some of the pictures related to this work.

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

He also refactored imports to meet linting requirements, ran the pre-commit formatting and correction process, executed the test suite without regressions, and resolved the remaining reviewer requests. Purav fixed the map interface on the Construction Summary page, resolved merge conflicts for Backend PR #2272, and opened Frontend PR #5421. He updated Backend PR #2285 for the PR Review Team Analytics Dashboard by correcting reviewer-to-team code resolution through GitHub handles, fallback links, and cache handling while retaining the API response structure used by Frontend PR #5413. Purav also completed the Tool Replacement graph across Backend PR #2297 and Frontend PR #5426 by creating clean branches from the development branch, transferring the required changes, resolving route conflicts, and adding API sorting, project and date filters, validation, indexes, sanitized query handling, unit tests, and project-linked seed data. His frontend changes added the Tools Most Susceptible to Breakdown chart, Redux integration, percentage and axis labels, filtering, BM project-state alignment, dark-mode support, and responsive behavior. Swathi restored the Edit to Reorder functionality by correcting an error message that appeared after successful API calls and fixing an issue that prevented the reorder modal from opening on the Summaries page. She then began converting the related stylesheet and JSX files to use CSS Modules.
