DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

duplicable city center, open source city hub, laundry, dining, swimming pool, hot tub, kitchen, library, game roomOne Community is creating self-replicating patterns of positive change 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, Amiti Singh (Architectural Designer) advanced in the mood-boarding and cost analysis process for Room 7 in Duplicable City Center, focusing on integrating art deco furniture with colorful lighting to create a vibrant color palette. She gathered products in alignment with the design and measurements of the visualization. Moreover, Amiti visualized the renders for the older rooms based on feedback received during a team review. The collage below shows her work for the week.

Clarice Gaw Gonzalo (Architect) revised the feedback from last week, which involved swapping out some people and adding objects to the renders of the Duplicable City Center. Clarice focused on the pool area, where she created a green wall and gave it a 3-dimensional appearance by adding various plants with different colors. Additionally, she captured several angles of renders of the pool area and worked on the salad section of the kitchen area. You can see her renderings in the images below.

Justin Varghese (Mechanical Engineer) worked on the structural FEA of the City Center Hub Connector, creating the meshing of the model. He ensured the proper mesh size and adjusted the size of the structural finite element analysis (FEA) mesh (finer mesh) until an acceptable level of accuracy was achieved within computational constraints. This will further be used to perform FEA simulation for the Hub Connector and help us determine which hub connector to choose for the final design. The Duplicable City Center is a foundation of how we’ll be creating self-replicating patterns of positive change. The collage below shows his work for the week.

Another core team member worked on Highest Good Network PRs testing, confirming fixes for several PRs including Update Projects Page sorting PR#1812 & PR#693, Fix “Suggestions” Icon in Dashboard icons section (PR998), Add timelog icon/access to Task tab PR#1870, and Fix permission for edit tasks PR# 1742. However, issues persisted with PR#878 regarding missing shadows for OK and Cancel when viewing others’ Dashboards and PR#1471 for adding blue square scheduler list scheduled time off and their reasons, with formatting date issues. While Update Projects Page sorting was addressed (PR#1812 & PR#693), the option ‘g. 3RD PR: Add a sort button to the Members and Inventory heading’ remained unimplemented. She also addressed the New Max Personal Record award (PR#619) and resolved a query regarding badge display. She then set up the ‘Tanya-test Test1’ account for testing this PR as a core team member with a required time of 1 hour for further assessment. See the collage below to see their work for the week.

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 Haoxiang Geng (Full Stack Developer), John Mumbi (Developer), Jiarong Li (Software Engineer), Roberto Contreras (Software Developer), Yao Wang (Software Engineer) and Zuhang Xu (Software Engineer). The Highest Good Network software is a foundation of what we’ll be using to measure our results of creating self-replicating patterns of positive change. Haoxiang focused on the frontend codebase, scrutinizing all elements associated with the project’s components. His focus included functionalities such as project additions, member searches, and Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) creation. Jiarong updated WeeklySummariesReport.jsx in the HGN Software Development project from a class to a functional component. John delved into familiarizing himself with the code base, contributing to Pull Request (PR) 1910 by integrating an editable component and assigning editing privileges to the Owner role. He also implemented styling for the component and actively resolved conflicts on GitHub. Luis focused on adding and deleting warnings from the component. He completed fetching, posting, and deleting a warning. Upon deleting the current warnings, he sought clarification from Jae on whether they should be fully deleted or hidden. Roberto concentrated on advancing tasks by updating outdated pull requests, transitioning the OpenCage API call to the backend, and resolving conflicts while updating the pull request for viewing another user’s dashboard. He also identified and fixed memory leaks, including a bug causing crashes during navigation between user profile pages. Yao addressed a bug in PR#1895, enabling reading of role types, and updated the new PR. While reviewing bug documentation, Yao aimed to complete final testing for multiple PRs encompassing frontend and unit testing. Zuhang addressed several issues related to badge functionality. He created a new PR request, PR 1940. Zuhang also worked on troubleshooting a problem on the dashboard page, where a badge displaying a 3-digit number was not correctly centered within its blue circle. See the Highest Good Society and Highest Good Network pages for more on how this relates to creating self-replicating patterns of positive change. See the collage below for some of their work.
