ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

SURPLUS RETURN COMMUNITIES – HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

Highest Good housing, cob construction, earthbag construction, straw bale construction, earthship construction, subterranean construction, sustainable homes, eco-homesOne Community is establishing a model for surplus return communities 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 member managing the aircrete compression testing team took a deeper dive into the aircrete issues and began organizing the summaries thus far in a manner that makes it easier to compare and contrast using the table template. They also managed the weekly call with the team.

The same team member additionally addressed several comments in the Net-zero Bathroom rainwater collection document and reviewed the work on Solar Energy Sizing and conversed with Luis, to wrap things up.

Daniela Andrea Parada (Civil Engineering Student) completed her 59th week, focusing now on the Net-zero Bathroom content. This week Daniela started by finishing up the review for the google sheets document for the Net-zero bathroom calculations. She went through the last tab and initialed the sections she double checked calculations for.

After reviewing any comments, she left some of the harder calculations she had not initialed and decided to work on those once the review of the google docs was complete. Daniela then started reading through the Net-zero Bathroom Design and Assembly Instructions. She left some comments and edited some details.

Once getting to a certain point Daniela realized she needed to do a side-by-side review with the Net-zero Bathroom and Earthbag Village Water Collection and Septic Design document. She then backtracked a bit in order to go over the material on the second document, but was able to continue and review new material. Pictures below are related to this work.

Charles Gooley (Web Designer) also completed his 18th week helping with web design, now focused on the Sustainable Roadways, Walkways, and Landscaping page. Charles completed the Flexible Pavement Design section of the Roadways, Walkways, Gutters, and Parking Lot Report page.

These included the six sections, Preliminary Analysis, California Bearing Ratio Design Procedure, Required Structural Design Procedure, Quality Assurance and Quality Control, Flexible Pavement Widening, Maintenance/Preservation, and Rehabilitation, along with the images, links and anchor links to the glossary with the corresponding mouseover text.

Charles also added the Flexible Pavement Design to the Pavement Designs Table of Contents. Charles noted that the code in the two ToC’s for the Structural Design section had list style types of lower alpha and lower roman that were not rendering properly. The pictures below share some of this work.

Jieying “Mercy” Cai (Sustainability and Climate Policy Researcher) completed her 17th week working on completing the Best Small and Large-scale Community Options for Sustainable Processing and Reuse of Non-recyclables research, report, and tutorial. This week Mercy researched incinerator options to replace the previous pyrolysis recommendations.

She filled in the table with the information on new plants, evaluated new plants according to the criteria, and reranked the waste-to-energy options. She also drafted narratives for breakdown by population and researched how different types of waste can be treated by incineration. See below for some pictures related to this work.

Philip Bogaerts (Structural Window Designer) completed his 11th week working on completing the Most Sustainable Windows and Doors research. Philip completed most of the narratives for the ‘best door’ section. The doors are covered, probably a little bit more text will be added to the Masonite (best company) section, to make sure everything is covered.

The spreadsheet has also been completed, for the best doors as well as for the best companies, however, the borders of the table still need some optimization. See below for some pictures of this work.

Cali Huddleston (Software Developer) completed her 2nd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Cali continued working on an issue we’re having with incorrect and slowly loading data. She started looking more into the routes and controllers and when she searched the console.log wh found a 401 error.

She researched more into this and thinks her hypothesis is correct in that Axios is not getting the data properly on page load. After gathering her weekly media files though, she noticed that the error only happens when a user logs out. So she believes this is only a piece of the puzzle that is this problem.

What she discovered with this error is that the config gets set and won’t change until after authorization. The authorization token isn’t being passed on the first call. So when the page refreshes the config data has been set again with authorization and the call being succeeded. She started to look more into axios docs and google similar issues to see if I could find solutions.

She found that a solution may be within the axios config file – she just has to find it. Pictures below show some of this work.

Ming Weng (MS Geography & Environmental Engineering) completed his 36th week helping with the Best Small and Large-scale Community Options for Sustainable Processing and Reuse of Non-recyclables research, report, and tutorial. This week, Ming did the final step of inquiry with Dongguan Haibao with its representative and engineers.

It turned out the cost of waste separation for downstream recycling and WTE methods is the most economical option. A customized waste separator system is an option they provide. They suggest incorporation of their product with specialized incinerators / pyrolyzers / gasifiers. Ming also started working on writing theoretical parts of the documents, using work from his previous weeks.

Yan Xu (Software Development Engineer) completed her 23rd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Yan tried to fix the bug with blue square emails not sending when blue squares are manually added to a person. After investigating she found this may be caused by the bug high priority 3 that users can not save the user profile when clicking to add a blue square.

After deeper investigation, she found it was caused by the Axios put error. Now Yan is trying to fix this Axios put function on the frontend and backend. See pictures below for some of this work.

Cali Huddleston (Software Developer) joined the team and completed her 1st week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Cali got started by completing the Onboarding Checklist, signing the volunteer agreement and understanding the basic requirements/communication procedures.

Cali then followed the instructions on how to run the app locally. After successfully running the app locally, she took the time to go through some of the code to get a better understanding of what tools were being used and how the overall concept is being developed. With this research, she found some tools that she had not used previously.

So, Cali then took the time to research these tools such as Axios, Dependabot, and ESLint. After the research and getting a basic idea of what these tools are used for, she then looked over the list of bugs and decided to start working on #12 (Name not appearing upon page load). After some digging, she found that the Axios GET request is not obtaining the data upon loading.

She also found that the setHeaderData function is not being triggered (found by running a console.log which did not appear in the console). Cali is further investigating this and will be taking a look at the bug #13 also, as per Jae’s recommendation/request. Pictures below show some of this work.

She was able to finish reading through the document and added new links to the Table of Content for both images and tables.

Once completed, Daniela started addressing the comments she had left for herself. Originally she was going to link resources in sections where they were explicitly mentioned, but she decided to leave this for last because this report lists many resources without linking them. Daniela then began to go through the untitled images and tried to see if she could find them online in order to obtain a title that exactly references what it is mentioning. Pictures below are related to this work, see how they relate to communal permanence.

Guilherme Wustro, software engineering, Highest Good Network, HGN App, debugging, One Community Volunteer, Highest Good collaboration, people making a difference, One Community Global, helping create global change, difference makers

Guilherme graduated in civil engineering but decided it wasn’t what he wanted to focus on, so he looked for other career choices and, as someone who has focused his entire life on technology, thought that IT was something he would pursue. He then joined Kenzie Academy Brazil to further explore this option. There he developed various projects, a pet hotel page, a delivery website dedicated to people with dietary restrictions, and others (all found at his portfolio page). As a way to develop his programming skills, he joined the One Community team, where he was in charge of the Highest Good Network APP permissions management, bug fixing and polishing the user tab. Guilherme is comfortable with React, Javascript, Next.js, some other languages, and still learning new ones. His goal is to be capable at every back and front-end task. While working at One Community, he also remains engaged in other projects, being responsible for full stack menu management pages, a school food delivery company’s contracts, as well as some other page improvement. As a passionate developer, Guilherme strives to make a positive difference in the IT universe and be a capable force for the industry. He is doing his best to improve society’s quality of life, all while making sure the planet doesn’t suffer for it.

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 making living a more luxurious life through sustainability easier with 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 member managing the aircrete compression testing team prepped the tasks for the Aircrete team for the week, and reviewed the rainwater catchment and stormwater catchment and septic tank content, as well as followed up on some past comments, on the Net-zero Bathroom doc. The same team member began writing up the section on the DIY option for the hub connector report for the City Center. The write up includes the equipment needed and the cost estimate. See below on how they relate to living a more luxurious life through sustainability.

Stacey Maillet (Graphic Designer) completed her 85th week working on the final edits and revisions to the Murphy bed instructions. This week Stacey continued to resolve the comments received from the team. There are still some issues regarding cutting boards and the amount of wood needed. The alignment of text and size of fonts is becoming more cohesive. The visual elements are getting updated and the comments have been great at also pointing out small discrepancies that may have been missed earlier. Screenshots below relate to this work, see how they relate to living a more luxurious life through sustainability.

Ming Weng (MS Geography & Environmental Engineering) completed his 34th week helping with the Best Small and Large-scale Community Options for Sustainable Processing and Reuse of Non-recyclables research, report, and tutorial. This week, Ming primarily consulted the Henan Yuenai and Dongguan Haibao for their waste incinerators that potentially generate electricity. The progress is very slow.

Meanwhile, Ming is searching for papers to further understand the current WTE technologies, such as fluidized bed and pyrolysis. So two tracks are in progress: consulting existing product vendors and discovering potential technologies, either already existent or under development. Refuse-derived fuel is the primary target. It is a practical WTE technology, but the detailed RDF procedure is very waste-type specific, and may not be feasible in small scales. Pictures below show some of this work-in-progress, see how they relate to living a more luxurious life through sustainability.

Community Options for Sustainable Processing and Reuse of Non-recyclables, Living a More Luxurious Life Through Sustainability, One Community Weekly Progress Update #508

Jieying “Mercy” Cai (Sustainability and Climate Policy Researcher) completed her 14th week working on completing the Best Small and Large-scale Community Options for Sustainable Processing and Reuse of Non-recyclables research, report, and tutorial. This week Mercy created new tables for scoring criteria and calculations using the given style.

She took some time to solve her confusion regarding the objectives of the project and then finished the general solutions and small community recommendations. She also did research on business options and collected cost and revenue information and relevant data. Mercy addressed Julia’s comment on the spreadsheet and tutorial as well. See below for some pictures related to this work and on how they relate to living a more luxurious life through sustainability.

This week, Charles completed the two Tables of Contents for the “Aircrete Engineering and Research: Compression Testing, Mix Ratios, R-value, and More” webpage. These included the main ToC at the top of the page and the secondary one further down.

Charles included mouseover text and descriptive anchor links. Charles also completed the Table of Contents for the City Center Eco-laundry, which also included mouseover text and descriptive anchor links. After reviewing the page, he checked off the items in the Webpage Checkoff List and presented the page for review. After receiving the feedback pdf, he resolved most of the issues, entering “Done” in the reply area. See below on how they relate to living a more luxurious life through sustainability.

During Ranran and Yuxi’s meeting, they discussed the material and location of the columns in the Social Dome hall and they also discussed the problem of the narrow gap between the seat and the edge of the pool. See below for some pictures of this work on how they relate to living a more luxurious life through sustainability.

Yiyun Tan (Management Dashboard Team Leader) completed her 35th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Yiyun put most of her time on fixing the “infringement cannot be assigned/edited/added” problem. She figured out the problem and found the cause, and solved half of the problem. Next week she will continue on fixing this and other high priority bugs. Other than that, she ran management work, provided help on Slack, fixed release merge conficts, and provided a couple other hotfixes. Pictures of some of this work are below, see how they relate to living a more luxurious life through sustainability.

Yan Xu (Software Development Engineer) completed her 21st week helping with the Highest Good Network software. Yan, for this week, pushed her PR for the backend (#248) and frontend (#592). The #248 PR code was to achieve the emailsender function when reaching our reactivation date and fix a bug when reaching the reactivation date caused the user to be deactivated.

It also changed the email format. For the deactivate user function, Yan changed the email format and fixed a problem where the end date was a day off. For #592 PR, she added an auto refresh function when clicking the Pause and Resume buttons. See pictures below for some of this work on how they relate to living a more luxurious life through sustainability.

Kaung Htet Myat (Software Engineer) completed his 12th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Kaung started off with rebasing issues. He got notified from Yiyun regarding the error and I believe it is caused by package.json error so he fixed it. Then he tested if the API currently removes the task totally and rewrote the API function in the frontend and tried to rebase the branch. See pictures below for some of this work on how they relate to living a more luxurious life through sustainability.

Kevin Shields (Software Engineer) completed his 9th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. Kevin, for this week, worked on adding new suggestions made by the reviewer of my WBS task deletion PR – this included formatting the code, changing the controller row (with the actions) to properly span the correct amount of rows, and changing it to match the amount of columns the parent has.

He also did a PR review for Yiyun – Backend and frontend of tasks suggestions by managers and mentors, looked into some extra tasks Jae assigned to the WBS task deletion regarding changing the warning message, and looked into the API call to the backend to make sure tasks are not actually getting fully deleted. Pictures below relate to this work, see how they relate to living a more luxurious life through sustainability.

Aashish Thapa Magar (Full Stack Software Developer) completed his 9th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, codes related to the auto-assignment of badges were explored further. Because the badge is auto-assigned based on last week’s data, the current week’s data needs to go past the end of the week time. And that is tied to other related components and that is why it’s taking longer to solve even though the problem is right there and found. Pictures below relate to this work, see how they relate to living a more luxurious life through sustainability.

Highest Good Network software, Living a More Luxurious Life Through Sustainability, One Community Weekly Progress Update #508

Kaixiang Gu (React.js / MongoDB Fullstack Software Developer) completed his 7th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Kaixiang reviewed three pull requests submitted by his teammates. He also completed his own task which is to fix the volunteering times on the Profile Page. He made a new pull request for other people to review. In this PR, he fixed the page breaking bug when a user manually edits hours and now hours will update correctly when a user edits the time log. Pictures below show some of this work, see how they relate to living a more luxurious life through sustainability.

Alan Lee Sing Chan (Software Engineer) completed his 6th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Alan started off by working on fixing the issues that may have been caused by fixing misspellings that were in the app. The first obstacle was to make sure what was causing this. Alan started by making some changes in the frontend and making sure that we check a date is in the current week to decide whether a summary was submitted or not. So we won’t take into account summaries that were submitted prior to the current week.

Then Alan looked into the backend and saw there were some issues in the formatting of the 3 dates that are returned by the backend function. At first glance it looked good but he made some changes in the conditional to make sure the right data was returned. Alan needs other members to test his PR thoroughly before merging it. Then he carried on working on the view summaries button and fixing ESlint problems, which is less urgent. Pictures below show some of this work, see how they relate to living a more luxurious life through sustainability.

Highest Good Network software, Living a More Luxurious Life Through Sustainability, One Community Weekly Progress Update #508

Jianjun Luo (Software Engineer) also completed her 3rd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. Jianjun continued working on the wireframe design of the material, equipment, tool and project tracking system this week. She completed all the equipment/tool related subtasks. The daily usage log form, equipment/tool list (master) page, detail page as well as the status update history page haven’t been designed yet. She wrote the documentation to explain all the design and a video to show the prototype workflow. She also did a PR review. Pictures below show some of this work, see how they relate to living a more luxurious life through sustainability.

Aishwarya Kalkundrikar (Full Stack Software Developer) joined the team and completed her 1st week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Aishwarya completed the initial setup and installation of React, node, visual studio, etc. locally. While installing npm she faced a version issue which was investigated and solved.

She got introduced to her teammates RJ and Jianjun and understood the functionality of HGN app and time logging. She went through and understood multiple important documents like WBS, the wireframes for phase 2 on Figma, and the phase 2 design document. Now she is clear with the work and all set up to start working on designing phase 2. Pictures below show some of this work, see how they relate to living a more luxurious life through sustainability.

Johny dos Santos Anastacio (Software Engineer) also joined the team and completed his 1st week helping with the Highest Good Network software. Johny finished his first task and is waiting for it to be merged, now he is working in the second task the bug #1 from the Priority medium list – “creating sub-tasks in a WBS doesn’t create a new folder and makes the tasks uneditable”. He is still searching for what is generating the bug and how to fix it. Pictures below show some of this work, see how they relate to living a more luxurious life through sustainability.

Highest Good Network software, Living a More Luxurious Life Through Sustainability, One Community Weekly Progress Update #508

Shaun Sullivan (React/MongoDB Developer) joined the team as well and completed his 1st week helping with the Highest Good Network software. Shaun took over Bruce’s code and entered it into Github so we have a remote copy. There were errors upon pasting code into VS Code, so Shaun refactored until most were gone. There is still one error left that he could not figure out involving the end of the crawl function. Shaun then created a new branch under Shaun_Make_App_Get_ProfilePic that can be accessed by all. Pictures below show some of this work, see how they relate to living a more luxurious life through sustainability.

Creating an abundant planet is recognizing that global abundance is measured by those of us who have the least. To help those who need help the most, while helping everyone else too, One Community is creating open source and free-shared plans for teacher/demonstration hubs that will teach, evolve, and make globally accessible sustainable, regenerative, and replicable approaches to food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, fulfilled living, global stewardship practices, and more.

This week Daniela Andrea Parada (Civil Engineering Student) completed her 54th week, returning to work on the Roadways, Walkways, Gutters, and Parking Lot Report/Tutorial. This week Daniela started off the week by responding to all comments that were left on the Flexible Pavements Design section. She was able to find a resource in order to help the reader reference a database and decided to remove a subsection that was previously created because it related too much to a more elaborate subsection.

Daniela then went through the Roadways document and edited all images that were numbered by cropping them and making sure the title was under the image. She then started working on the Updated Duplicable City Center Project Specification and Design Basis report. Daniela reviewed what she was previously working on and started off where she left off. She numbered all of the figures and added in anything that she had left out previously. Afterwards Daniela bookmarked and linked the images that had titles in addition to adjusting the formatting. She plans to read through the document next week. Pictures below are related to this work, see how they relate to creating an abundant planet.
