Creating the Sustainable Civilization We Know is Possible – One Community Weekly Progress Update #665

At One Community, we are focused on creating the sustainable civilization we know is possible by developing open source, free-shared solutions for food, energy, housing, education, economics, social architecture, and more. Created entirely by an all-volunteer team, our work supports a model that becomes self-replicating and grows into a global collaboration of teacher/demonstration hubs. Through evolving sustainability and global stewardship practices, we design approaches for fulfilled living and regenerating our planet, all with the intention of creating a world that works for everyone—always doing this for The Highest Good of All.

ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

 

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

Highest Good housing, cob construction, earthbag construction, straw bale construction, earthship construction, subterranean construction, sustainable homes, eco-homesOne Community is creating the sustainable civilization we know is possible 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, Ajay Adithiya Kumar Elancheliyan Tamilalagi (Mechanical Engineer) continued working on the ventilation system design for the Vermiculture Toilet component of the Earthbag Village. He focused on the Unistruct assembly and ventilation design for the vermicomposting eco-toilet space. He completed the first draft of Karthik’s report, made necessary revisions to his assigned section, and re-ran simulations to update the results. He continued developing the Unistruct report, finalized the analysis setup, and reviewed outcomes for displacement, von Mises stress, and strain under gravity and distributed mass loading. A separate document was created to incorporate updated weight calculations provided by Karthik, which required re-simulation, and Ajay also reviewed issues encountered with the HVAC simulation. In parallel, he continued editing the report while progressing with simulation work. His technical coordination and iterative analysis support creating the sustainable civilization we know is possible through open-source, performance-driven design. Below, you’ll find some images of this work.

Baraka Minja (Civil and Environmental Engineer Pr. Eng.) continued working on the Communal Eco-shower and Vermiculture Toilet drawings. He worked on building a paper model to represent the Duplicable City Center foundation connection, focusing on a physical illustration of the structural elements. Baraka used folded paper to depict the diagonal struts and added representations of the connecting channels to show how the components align. Bolt locations were marked using staples, allowing the model to demonstrate how fasteners would be positioned within the structure. This hands-on visualization helped clarify assembly logic and supported creating the sustainable civilization we know is possible by improving understanding of replicable construction systems. See below for some of the images.

EXPRESSERS SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAM

The Expressers Team’s summary, which covers their work on the Highest Good Network, was managed by Rahul Trivedi (Software Engineer) and includes Casstiel Pi (Software Engineer) and Layne Taylor (Software Engineer). This effort supports One Community’s goal of creating the sustainable civilization we know is possible.

This week, Casstiel started work on a new task to enhance filter and tag selection with multi-select and auto-suggest functionality. He reviewed the current codebase, analyzed possible solutions, and drafted an initial enhancement to treat filters, tags, and sorting options as composable inputs feeding into a unified filtering pipeline. The approach allows heavier filtering operations to be delegated to the backend as the dataset grows. The lesson box clicking error still needs to be implemented on the dev or live branch, as the site crashes when clicked. Layne worked on generating the SKU and changing the search material input from a modal to a search bar on the ItemListView file. She resolved early issues separating the SKU state from formData, completed SKU generation to display in an input box, and addressed backend challenges caused by unclear naming conventions and model imports. She shifted focus to the search bar work, where filtering is not yet implemented and debounce still needs to be added. This work directly contributes to One Community’s mission of creating the sustainable civilization we know is possible.

Rahul optimized code to address linting issues in src/components/Badge and reorganized code files to align with project guidelines. He resolved merge conflicts in PR 4124 and updated specific lines to match formatting standards. Rahul also supported team coordination by assisting teammates, clarifying doubts, holding a weekly Zoom meeting, and reviewing submitted summaries, videos, and images to ensure alignment with team expectations.
