ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD CREATING HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is Highest Good creating through Highest Good education that is for all ages, applicable in any environment, adaptable to individual needs, far exceeds traditional education standards, and more fun for both the teachers and the students:

• • • Learn about the components: Education open source hub
    • Learn how the components work together: How to use the Education for Life Program
      

This last week the core team transferred the first 25% of the written content for the Summer Lesson Plan to the website, as you see here. This lesson plan is purposed to teach all subjects, to all learning levels, in any learning environment, using the central theme of “Summer.”

Behind the scenes, we wrote the final 25% of the written part of the Summer Lesson Plan, bringing it to 100% completely written.

We also completed the first 25% of the mindmap for the Cooperation and Collaboration Lesson Plan, and added the theme icons to the website, which you see here:

HIGHEST GOOD CREATING HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is Highest Good creating through Highest Good food that is more diverse, more nutritious, locally grown and sustainable, and part of our open source botanical garden model to support and share bio-diversity:

• • • Learn about the structures: Hoop House Hub | Aquapini & Walipini Open Source Hub
    • See what we’ll be growing: Gardens & Hoop Houses | Large-scale Structures | Food Forest | TA

This last week the core team finalized the organization of the streamlined version of our Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan page, which includes contributions provided by Naturopathic Doctor Matt Marturano (creator of the COHERENT model for comprehensive digestive health). This week we had a final additional pioneer proofread and edit the page. The page is now officially launched!

HIGHEST GOOD CREATING HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is Highest Good creating 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: 7 Sustainable Village Models
    • Visit the open source portals for the first two: Earthbag Village OS Hub | Straw Bale Village OS Hub

This last week the core team put another 10 hours into the behind-the-scenes revision for the Footers, Foundations and Flooring page for the crowdfunding campaign we are developing. This week’s focus was determining and describing step-by-step applications of polyethylene to various locations within the FFF CAD drawing, particularly focusing on the footer and the water barrier separation between the foundation gravel bags and earthbags. We’d say we are now 75% complete with this total update and rewrite behind the scenes.

Working on the Tree House Village (Pod 7), Jesika Rohrbach (Architectural Drafter, Designer, and 3-D Modeler) also designed the details you see here for the various recreation spaces including outside play area details, game room details both inside and outside, arts and crafts structure details both inside and outside, and more.

Dean Scholz, Architectural Designer, further developed what’s necessary for us to create quality Cob Village (Pod 3) renders. Here is update 13 of this work that continued with shade structure design and placement.

Brianna Johnson (Interior Designer), also continued evolving the renders for the Straw Bale Village (Pod 2). What you see here is the 2nd render for the kids’ playroom, now with enhanced colors, pictures on the walls added using Photoshop, and other aesthetic details.

Shadi Kennedy (Artist and Graphic Designer) also created these new render roughs and version 2.0 of the updated layout proposal for a new graphic to share the features of the Tropical Atrium that is the center of the Earthbag Village (Pod 1).

HIGHEST GOOD CREATING DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is Highest Good creating 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:

• • • Learn about this building and it’s function: Duplicable City Center Open Source Hub

This week the core team continued working on the renders for the Duplicable City Center. Here you can see this final high quality Dining Dome render:

…and these pictures show the 2nd floor rendering scenes, where we updated the scenery background, adjusted the shadows, and set up textures for the furniture, floor and musical instruments.

Bupesh Seethala (Interior Designer) also finished his part of the work for the Natural Pool and Spa mechanical room details. Here you see a finished render of this room covered in stone and featuring a waterfall.

HIGHEST GOOD CREATING HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating global change progress through a Highest Good society approach to living that is founded on fulfilled living, the study of meeting human needs, Community, and making a difference in the world:

• • • Read the Highest Good society overview: Highest Good Society
    • Learn about the model for fulfilled living and sharing: A Day in the Life
    • Learn about the 4 economic models: RBE | For-profit | Non-profit | Entrepreneurship
    • Learn about our open source community collaboration and management software: The Highest Good Network

This last week the core team added the tutorial you see here for helping anyone who joins us to do research for the Open Source and Patents: Defensive Publishing Costs Research page. This tutorial was created by Oz Czerski, Lawyer Specializing in Trademark and Copyright Law.

We also made final edits and continued the multi-hour reorganization of the icons designed by Graphic Designer, Ivan Manzurov. The icons we finished and organized this week were the Highest Good Food and Highest Good Education icons shown here. We’d say we are now about 40% done with this graphics task.

The core team additionally updated the One Community Now Page to include the specifics you see here discussing how we organize virtually and what we’re focusing on now, why we’re focusing on what we are, and how this applies securing funding.

Richard Tanzer (Patent Agent) also continued editing our Open Source and Patents page. The original page was created by Oz Czerski and here you can see Richard’s second round of updates and edits happening behind the scenes. We’d say Richard is about 30% done with the complete page edit and update.

ONE COMMUNITY’S 4-PHASE STRATEGY

One Community is building solution-creating models designed to create additional solution-creating models to specifically facilitate exponential and sustainable global teacher/demonstration village growth. The following four phases of the strategy we are applying are designed to support each other and accelerate the process globally into highest good creating ways:

Phase I: Demonstrating a Better Way

We are designing One Community to demonstrate an experience of living that we believe most people will consider to be better because it will be more enjoyable and fulfilling. We also think most people will consider it better because it is made possible specifically through a foundation of sustainable sustainability and a philosophy that is for The Highest Good of All.

Phase II: Open Source Project-Launch Blueprinting

Everything we do we are open source project-launch blueprinting and free-sharing to make it as easy and affordable as possible to duplicate, adapt, and evolve in the manner that suits each individual and/or group’s needs. Free-sharing information like this is our aggressive-exposure engine and an aspect of One Community that will accelerate indefinitely as we continue to build our team, move onto the property, and continuously build and evolve everything that is One Community.

Phase III: Inviting the World to Participate

Everything we are open source project-launch blueprinting is designed to invite the world to participate by duplicating it as either individual components or complete teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities that will be able to be built almost anywhere in the world. Additionally, people can join One Community as members, consultants and/or partners, or use the suggestions links on our open source project-launch blueprinting hubs to help with the design, implementation, and evolution process. Scholarships, weekend learning and work crews, and tourism will be foundations of One Community once we have sufficient infrastructure in place to support these options.

Phase IV: Universal Appeal and Global Expansion

As One Community continues evolving and establishing ourselves, everything we create and promote will serve as the engine to inspire people to align with the concept of open source and sustainable living for The Highest Good of All. We are doing this to create mainstream appeal and our path to achieving this appeal is demonstrating a happier, more affordable, and ecologically friendly model of living that can be built anywhere in the world.

Open source project-launch blueprinting it all is how we believe the model will spread and, possibly most importantly, that it will predictably spread even faster in the areas where it is needed most because building restrictions, the cost of land, and materials costs are in most cases lower in these areas.

 

WHY OPEN SOURCE

We are creating everything One Community does as open source and free-shared blueprints because we see this as the path to a new Golden Age of creativity, innovation, cooperation, and collaboration for all of humanity. Our model is a solution model that creates additional solution creating models enabling people to live and collaborate globally for The Highest Good of All. The easier we make everything we do, the faster we see the world transitioning into highest good creating ways.

Every aspect of this model supports itself and contributes to its success, from the sustainable food, energy, and homes, to the social architecture, One Community Education Program, and open source sharing model itself. Each piece can be accessed, evolved, and even re-birthed as something completely new. It can be duplicated by itself or with other modules, with applications as diverse as the people who want and need them. The constantly expanding total model will additionally be able to be used in its entirety as the open source project-launch blueprint for a variety of duplicate teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities capable of being built virtually anywhere.

The most profound part is: the more we open source share, the more we help move everyone forward, the more people know about what we are doing and can participate, and the more successful and capable we are of project-launch blueprinting and sharing even more still. This is all supported and made possible because:

• We have the team to produce an extensive quality and diversity of tools and resources
• It gives us the opportunity to broaden the concept of sustainability and make it more desirable
• Areas we open source expand our ability to evolve even faster through global collaboration
• Each new area open sourced expands our target audience, advancing our world changing goals
• The more we show our ability to share what we are creating, the more others will benefit and want to join this movement and mimic the part we are playing in it
