- - Learn about: Our Upcoming Crowdfunding Campaign
  - Learn about the different village models on how they relate to earth care systems: 7 Sustainable Village Models
  - Visit the open source portals for the first two: Earthbag Village OS Hub | Straw Bale Village OS Hub

This week the core team member managing the aircrete compression testing team created a data collection sheet for the aircrete, did general preparation for executing the week’s plan, assessed data from compression of old cylinders, helped with ordering materials, and led the weekly meeting. The same team member also addressed the last section of the city center hub connector final document which covers the DIY option details, and fixed the formula for min and max energy usage by hour for solar sizing. Pictures below are related to this work, see how they relate to earth care systems.

A member of the core team reviewed the Murphy bed Assemble Instruction document. This team member began by reviewing the first 100 pages of the MurphyBed Doc for accuracy regarding materials and hardware sections of the doc. We made comments where it was too small of print, miscounts of quantities that require correction, pictures that inaccurately depicted 5 inch bolt size, and other areas needing fixing. The images below relate to this work, see how they relate to earth care systems.

Another member of the core team reviewed the Murphy bed Assemble Instruction document too. This team member added more than 50 comments related to missing or incorrect labels, misalignment of parts on the images, use of images that showed the old design, suggestions for using more screws to connect parts in the storage stepping shelving section, incorrect labeling of previous/next steps, and missing information and labels for using wood glue throughout the whole document. See below for pictures on how they relate to earth care systems.

The core team also did detailed review and feedback on the Best Small and Large-scale Community Options for Sustainable Processing and Reuse of Non-recyclables research. see below for pictures on how they relate to earth care systems

And the core team worked with the software development team creating user stories and flowcharts for the Highest Good Network software Phase 2 which is a material, equipment and tool (MET) tracking component of this web application. See below for pictures on how they relate to earth care systems

Stacey Maillet (Graphic Designer) completed her 83rd week working on the final edits and revisions to the Murphy bed instructions. This week’s focus was more revisions based on team feedback. Revisions were focused mainly on formatting alignment fixes. Screenshots below relate to this work, see how they relate to earth care systems.

This week Daniela Andrea Parada (Civil Engineering Student) completed her 50th week, returning to work on the Roadways, Walkways, Gutters, and Parking Lot Report/Tutorial. This week Daniela continued making edits to the Flexible Pavement Design section based on previous comments. The comments she was addressing were ones that she had left to complete last because she knew that these would take more time and research to complete.

Throughout the week, Daniela wrote more narrative and researched various concepts based on each comment. She went back and reviewed the information from the original resource, but also tried to find more information in order to clarify for the reader. Some information was harder to find than others but Daniela made sure to address what was asked for. Lastly, she found images and new resources to refer to in the narrative. Pictures below are related to this work, see how they relate to earth care systems.

Diwei Zhang (Mechanical Engineer) completed his 33rd week of work, now focused on 3D modeling and analysis review for the Net-zero Bathroom component of the Earthbag Village. ‹â€¹This week Diwei summarized the design of the stormwater harvesting system. The difference between stormwater harvesting and rooftop rainwater harvesting was specified. Supply and demand calculations were presented to obtain the catchment area and required storage capacity. Using inlet peak flow discharge calculations with catchment sections configuration to size pipes was summarized too. Pictures below show some of this work, see how they relate to earth care systems.

Ming Weng (MS Geography & Environmental Engineering) completed his 29th 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 more inquiring with equipment providers, finding potential new WTE plants on Alibaba, and added some of his own feedback on Mercy’s work. Pictures below show some of this work-in-progress, see how they relate to earth care systems.

Jieying “Mercy” Cai (Sustainability and Climate Policy Researcher) completed her 9th 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 worked on the hot tub sanitary alternatives task. She researched methodology, advantages & disadvantages, and commercial options of non-chlorine alternatives.

She finished the comparison table, comparing all the options and ranked them according to safety, efficiency, sustainability, and ease of implementation. Mercy also wrote the narratives to replace/add to the existing tutorial. See below for some pictures related to this work on how they relate to earth care systems.

Philip Bogaerts (Structural Window Designer) completed his 8th week working on completing the Most Sustainable Windows and Doors research. This week Philip continued his work on the best window research and tried to finalize it as much as possible. Among other things he did styling and formatting of the tables, as well as adding images and checking for grammar and spelling mistakes. Finally he also added some required values that were not yet found. See below for some pictures of this work on how they relate to earth care systems.

The Compression Team consisting of Genesis Avila (Engineering Intern Researcher), Joshua Jacob (Engineering Intern Researcher), Fatima Duenas-Esparza (Engineering Intern Researcher), and Sarah-Jean Boyd (Engineering Intern Researcher) completed their 4th week helping with the Aircrete and earthbag compression testing. This week, the team completed preliminary testing on the effect of soft water on foam quality. The team also met with Marcus from last year’s team to go over some questions that the team had about how hard water affected the previous year’s results. Pictures below are related to this work, see how they relate to earth care systems.

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is developing earth care systems 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 on how they relate to earth care systems: Duplicable City Center Open Source Hub

This week the core team completed another round of detailed feedback on the updated Natural Pool and Spa page. We also created and updated some of the imagery there. The pictures below share some of this work, see how they relate to earth care systems.

Venus Abdollahi (Architectural Designer) completed her 54th week helping finish the Duplicable City Center designs. This week Venus worked on detailing the roofs. She added ACT 2X2 on the roof detail, added different layers to the roof to receive the desired R-value, and joint details. See pictures below on how they relate to earth care systems.

Jessica Santos (Architect) completed her 19th week working on the interior design for the Duplicable City Center rental rooms. This week, to add another element in the room that ”pops’, Jessica created a hexagonal headboard with a cloud shape for the bed. She added birds hanging from the roof, worked on elements on the walls testing a painting, mirror, and fountain, played with colors around the room and ended up adding a mix of blue tones for the living room. Her thought was that this could highlight and sectorize the spaces, helping the room not to be overwhelmingly pink. See below for some pictures of this work on how they relate to earth care systems.

Gabriela Vilela S. C. Diniz (Architect and Urban Planner) completed her 19th week working on the interior design for the Duplicable City Center rental rooms. This week Gabriela tried a new type of TV Support that will work with our high ceilings and in front of the bed. She also worked on the Cost Analysis Table and then changed back to the original support and added a box to get it lower and looking like an old cinema sign. Gabriela added a sound system close to the bed and a Dressing Room sign at the bathroom door too. Pictures below are related to this work, see how they relate to earth care systems.

Charles Gooley (Web Designer) completed his 9th week working on the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering webpage and the City Center Eco-spa and Natural Pool page. Charles continued working on the Duplicable City Center Natural Pool and Spa page PDF comments. He also corrected the comments by Julia on the City Center Dome page. See below for pictures on how they relate to earth care systems

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is developing earth care systems 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 structure on how they relate to earth care systems: Hoop House Hub | Aquapini & Walipini Open Source Hub
  - See what we’ll be growing: Gardens & Hoop Houses | Large-scale Structures | Food Forest | TA

This week Marilyn Nzegwu (Chef and Culinary Consultant) completed her 27th week helping with the completion of the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan and related menu and meal plans. This week Marilyn started to research recipe replacements for the Summer Fresh Week I, putting into consideration the foundational ingredients and the vegan and omnivore proteins. She then started to research recipes for the development of the Summer Fresh Week J menu block. She is in the process of adding recipes to the recipe summary section before tagging it to be reviewed. The pictures below relate to this work, see how they relate to earth care systems.

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is developing earth care systems 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. This component of One Community is about 95% complete with only the Open Source School Licensing and Ultimate Classroom construction and assembly details remaining to be finished. We’ll report on the final two elements to be finished as we develop them.

With over 8 years of work invested in the process, the sections below are all complete until we move onto the property and continue the development and open sourcing process with teachers and students – a development process that is built directly into the structure of the education program and everything else we’re creating too:

- - 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 week the core team completed 30 hours managing One Community volunteer-work review not included above, emails, social media accounts, web development, Highest Good Network software checkins and review, and interviewing and getting set up new volunteer team members. Pictures below show some of this, see how they relate to earth care systems.

The core team also completed another 16 hours of reviewing, giving feedback, and creating imagery and video for the new overview video (and other videos) Arthur is developing. The pictures below show some of this review work, see how they relate to earth care systems.

Here are some of this week’s images we created for the new video updates:

We also uploaded, shared, and added to the appropriate places on our website these two finished videos!

One Community Global: Large-scale Implementation of Sustainability

Yiyun Tan (Management Dashboard Team Leader) completed her 30th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Yiyun put most of her time into helping and managing the Management Dashboard team. This included PR reviews and testing, answering questions, finding resources, updating documentation, solving the backend merge conflicts, etc. She also worked more on merging Eiki’s PRs. Pictures of some of this work are below, see how they relate to earth care systems.

Yan Xu (Software Development Engineer) completed her 17th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Yan wrote the code for the final day button for the user management page. Now it’s possible to set the last day and delete the final day. But there is still a bug in this button. After refreshing the page, the end date is shown in the column, but the button should show “delete final day” and instead shows “set final day”.

Yan also changed the title and adjusted the table size for the user management page. For the back end, she helped colleagues to test code and finalize a PR for merging. See pictures below for some of this work on how they relate to earth care systems.

Arthur Olifant (Videographer) completed his 14th week helping with updating all our homepage videos. This Week, Arthur worked on delivering new exports of the Main Page video, Weekly Background Video and Ultimate Classroom Labeling video. For the Main page video, he added new images. For the Labeling video, he replaced animated graphics. For the Weekly Background video, he got it approved and ready to be fully exported. Arthur also had to re-export some of the previous videos like the “Get Involved” video to fix some mistakes. See pictures below that are related to this work on how they relate to earth care systems.

Kaung Htet Myat (Software Engineer) completed his 9th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Kaung rebased his previous branch since it is a few commits behind and that could lead to merging conflicts. After that he started working on the dashboard task “mark as done” button.

First, he removed all the complete buttons and wrote a onClick function that would be executed when the user clicks the “mark as done” button. After the user clicks “mark as done”, the status of the task is changed to done. With this he was also able to make the task disappear from the dashboard after the button was clicked. He is refactoring the code so he can raise the PR. See pictures below for some of this work on how they relate to earth care systems.

Bruce Lin (Software Engineer) completed his 7th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Bruce refactored the code so it’s not having to check for any name in the bold tags thanks to Jae. However, he still found an issue, which is that there are some p tags that have 2 strong tags with the first one having an “img” tag in it, which prevents the crawler from extracting the full name from the first strong tag it finds. Pictures below relate to this work, see how they relate to earth care systems.

Kevin Shields (Software Engineer) completed his 4th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. Kevin looked deeply into finalizing the PR fix for badge deletion and assigning. He tried to reproduce an issue a reviewer was getting, but could not. So Kevin is waiting on a 2nd reviewer and the original reviewer to double check before moving on.

Kevin also completed an incremental PR for the management dashboard’s task notification system and completed a PR for the redesign of the project reports page. Kevin was moved into the Management Dashboard team, so he spent time reviewing the relevant docs and code to move onto a new task within this new team too. Pictures below relate to this work, see how they relate to earth care systems.

Guilherme Wustro (Front End Developer) completed his 4th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. Guilherme fixed the bugs that were failing some tests and changed the ProtectedRoute, adapting it with the state roles to make them dynamic. He also created an automatic insertion of the new roles in the backend when the deploys happen. This was done in a way that will not need us to manually add the permissions. He created some tests and also solved some conflicts in the merge (pulling the branch development into the Guilhermes-Dashboard). Guilherme also started the feature that can give permissions to a specific user. Pictures below relate to this work, see how they relate to earth care systems.

Aashish Thapa Magar (Full Stack Software Developer) completed his 4th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, the duplicate badge bug has been resolved in the local repo. The new task taken this week includes fixing the badge streak bugs.

When a new badge streak is earned, the previous streak badge should be permanently removed from a user’s badge collection. If not, it affects the total count of the badges the user has earned. On the dashboard, only the highest streak badges will be displayed. So, if users only count the displayed badges, the total count will look faulty when in fact the total count is showing an accurate count, because it includes the badges not displayed. Pictures below relate to this work, see how they relate to earth care systems.

Vivian Baik (Software Engineer and Project Team Leader) completed her 2nd week helping with the Highest Good Network software, specifically on Phase 2, a material, equipment and tool (MET) tracking web application. This week she continued to develop the wireframes and documentation for the project. She updated the ‘Add Material’ form and developed forms for adding tools/equipment and daily logging of METs and related issues. See pictures below for some of this work on how they relate to earth care systems.

Kaixiang Gu (React.js / MongoDB Fullstack Software Developer) also joined the team and completed his 1st week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Kaixiang completed all the required actions of the onboarding checklist and got the HGN App working on his local environment. He picked “Fix Volunteering Time” as his first focus.

The reason why hours for each category are not increasing as the user logs time is that the time entries are not logging time to the hoursByCategory property of the user profile and updating in the database. To solve this problem, when a user submits a new time entry, Kaixiang created a new function that will log time to a specific category based on a selected project. For now, volunteering hours will be displayed correctly in the volunteering time tab. Total tangible hours will automatically sum up each category’s hours. Total intangible hours display the sum of all the past intangible hours. Pictures below show some of this work, see how they relate to earth care systems.

Jin Hua (Web Marketer and Graphic Designer) also helped us with Google’s tag manager and fixing multiple website errors. The pictures below show some of this work, see how they relate to earth care systems.

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is creating a meaningful life 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 on how they relate to creating a meaningful life: 7 Sustainable Village Models
  - Visit the open source portals for the first two: Earthbag Village OS Hub | Straw Bale Village OS Hub

This week the core team member managing the aircrete compression testing team guided the team to complete preliminary experiments to test soft water as opposed to hard water when making foam, as well as helped with a materials list and items to order, and compared compression testing results of cylinders that had cured for 220 days. The same team member also continued to address comments in the city center hub connector final document and the aircrete final report from the original team. Pictures below are related to this work, see how they relate to creating a meaningful life.

Luis Manuel Dominguez (Research Engineer) completed his 65th week. This week Luis continued his transition to his new projects, the Net-zero Bathroom calculations and the Solar Sizing Energy Balancing. He has been able to assist with some smaller tasks on these projects in the past, but he is looking to expand his role and become involved in the narrative integration to the website for each.

Luis wrapped up his smaller tasks and began familiarizing himself with all of the project details by reading old summaries and analyzing the spreadsheet data, mainly for the Solar Sizing Design. Next week he will continue to review the project’s details and begin updating the documents for consistency, content, and other potential edits. Pictures below are related to this work, see how they relate to creating a meaningful life.

This week Daniela Andrea Parada (Civil Engineering Student) completed her 49th week, returning to work on the Roadways, Walkways, Gutters, and Parking Lot Report/Tutorial. This week Daniela continued to review and respond to all the comments on the Flexible Pavement Design section.

She researched more in-depth to explain concepts better, reviewed her previous resources in order to understand where her information was coming from and to figure out what needed to be analyzed better, and added to the narrative and moved around paragraphs based on the comments. Definitions were added to the glossary and Daniela figured out ways to clarify what she was trying to portray. By the end of the week she responded to all comments, but left a few of the comments she knew would take more research and writing. Pictures below are related to this work, see how they relate to creating a meaningful life.

Diwei Zhang (Mechanical Engineer) completed his 32nd week of work, now focused on 3D modeling and analysis review for the Net-zero Bathroom component of the Earthbag Village. ‹â€¹This week Diwei completed a summarization of the water pump selection of the rainwater harvesting system. Instead of using the Darcy-Weisbach formula to calculate the dynamic pressure drop of water flowing through pipes, the equivalent length of pipes method was used because it is easier and more efficient. Some labels of the inlet and outlet of the water tank were added too. Pictures below show some of this work, see how they relate to creating a meaningful life.

Ming Weng (MS Geography & Environmental Engineering) completed his 28th 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 completed routine exploration of small-scale facilities on Alibaba.

The obstacle is still the same as before: limitation of treatment types and scales in the same facility. This week most replies were for plants for agricultural purposes (not elaborated in description, but he learned from conversations), so they were not considered. The good news is, some sellers have suggested some questions regarding our demand, after answering my basic inquiry questions, so the conversations will continue. Pictures below show some of this work-in-progress, see how they relate to creating a meaningful life.

Julia Meaney (Researcher and Assistant to Executive Director) completed her 9th week with the team. This week, Julia continued to review and edit content of the “Flexible Pavement Design” section on the “Roadways, Walkways, Gutters, and Parking Lot Report/Tutorial” Google Doc. She addressed, added, and resolved comments as needed throughout this review process.

Julia then addressed and reviewed comments on the Feedback PDF for the “Aircrete Engineering and Research: Compression Testing, Mix Ratios, R-value, and More” webpage and made coding updates on the live webpage accordingly. She also began to review and edit the grammar and spelling of the content on the web page itself. Also this week, Julia spent time reviewing the “Murphy bed Instructions” PDF, using the comments to recommend various visual and graphic edits. Below are some images related to this work, see how they relate to creating a meaningful life.

Jieying “Mercy” Cai (Sustainability and Climate Policy Researcher) completed her 8th 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 finished the non-recyclables tutorials. She researched methods and plants for mixed and composite material products, wrote the related section, and filled in the Alibaba table. Mercy edited the content to switch the focus on non-recyclables recycling and waste-to-energy solutions. She also organized the references and downloaded the pdfs of referenced articles. See below for some pictures related to this work on how they relate to creating a meaningful life.

Philip Bogaerts (Structural Window Designer) completed his 7th week working on completing the Most Sustainable Windows and Doors research. This week Philip mainly worked on the ‘Best windows’ tab. Apart from the final section, this research is also complete, even though thorough proofreading still needs to be done. Collecting all the documents and researching other options to add to give a more complete overview were the main tasks this week. See below for some pictures of this work on how they relate to creating a meaningful life.

They completed a handful of tests and mixed a batch of foam utilizing the distilled water, and found that the foam made with soft water appeared to be more dense, other than that, both soft and hard water foam held up well. The team also finished doing the compression testing from last year’s molds, and created a data sheet with all the compressions and included images for each mold that was tested. Pictures below are related to this work, see how they relate to creating a meaningful life.

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is creating a meaningful life 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 on how they relate to creating a meaningful life: Duplicable City Center Open Source Hub

This week the core team continued creating the 3D SketchUp model for the City Center dormer framing. We continued working with the design of the 3D model for the framing of the second floor dormer. This included modeling rafter tails for the dormer roof, roof rakes (two on each side), fascia boards and framing for the siding support.

We also researched SketchUp Extension software “SketchUp STL” that will export SketchUp files into .stl format for further use in SolidWorks and used the SketchUp first floor model to create an exploded version of the model, then exported it in .stl format for further work in SolidWorks by a new Industrial Designer volunteer who just joined the team. The pictures below share some of this developing work, see how they relate to creating a meaningful life.

Venus Abdollahi (Architectural Designer) completed her 53rd week helping finish the Duplicable City Center designs. This week Venus worked on detailing the cupola roof. She added different layers to the roof to receive the desired R-value, added the joint details, and started working on the roof section view to show R-value and define the roof layers. See pictures below on how they relate to creating a meaningful life.

Jessica Santos (Architect) completed her 18th week working on the interior design for the Duplicable City Center rental rooms. This week Jessica searched for types and colors of wood to apply on the sunset panel. She changed the wallpaper on the roof for a warmer color that would match better with the wood panel. She also replaced and rearranged some furniture and colors. See below for some pictures of this work on how they relate to creating a meaningful life.

Gabriela Vilela S. C. Diniz (Architect and Urban Planner) completed her 18th week working on the interior design for the Duplicable City Center rental rooms. This week, Gabriela worked on the improvements requested by Jae. These included changing the carpet to a recovered hardwood, adding a drop-down TV on the ceiling, a surround sound system, and a new option for the pull-out sofa. She worked a bit on the cost analysis table too, adding a few more items and editing the new sofa. Gabriela then ran a couple of renders to test the lights and materials. Pictures below are related to this work, see how they relate to creating a meaningful life.

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

Yiyun Tan (Management Dashboard Team Leader) completed her 29th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Yiyun worked on wrapping up Eiki’s PRs. She went through Eiki’s DropBox folders and figured out his implementation logic, created a plan to split his huge frontend PR into three or four small ones, and raised the first one for review. Once the first PR is approved and merged, she will create more. Pictures of some of this work are below, see how they relate to creating a meaningful life.

Yan Xu (Software Development Engineer) completed her 16th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Yan push a PR #202, it is now possible to send an email to the Admin’s gmail when a user passes the final day. She also re-organized the user management page look.

Although she has completed the set final day button for the view profile page, there are lots of differences between the profile page and the user management for the set final day button. As of now the button is able to set up the final day and patch the last date to the database, but it is not able to delete the final day which is related to the react hook and props problem. See pictures below for some of this work.

Arthur Olifant (Videographer) completed his 13th week helping with updating all our homepage videos. This week, Arthur worked on updating the Main Page Video, Highest Good Education Video, the weekly background video, and he started a new Ultimate Classroom video labeling task. The main page video is almost done. Putting in the images is all that’s needed. The Highest Good education video is almost ready to export too. See pictures below that are related to this work on how they relate to creating a meaningful life.

Kaung Htet Myat (Software Engineer) completed his 8th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Kaung joined the Management Dashboard team. He was assigned a task to create a “mark as done” button for admins and owners. He started off with reading and understanding the new function document. Kaung then started working on displaying a “mark as done” button for only the admins and the owners. Then he realized that tasks are divided into “not started”, “started” and “complete” categories. And those with complete categories should not be marked as done so he created a way to display if the button is done or not.

He plans to let the other team members know later on about this change. The looks are good but he still needs to implement a function for the buttons to interact with the backend. Kaung also did a PR review for the wbs page but he did not approve it as he wants other team members to confirm it too. See pictures below for some of this work on how they relate to creating a meaningful life.

Bruce Lin (Software Engineer) completed his 6th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Bruce discussed with Jae a new way to crawl the team page to get all the images and names from each person. Jae refactored the pages to help and Bruce also refactored the functionality of crawling the web page and added the feature of extracting the date on which the image was uploaded. He also extracted the first name and last name of each person. Pictures below relate to this work, see how they relate to creating a meaningful life.

Kevin Shields (Software Engineer) completed his 3rd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Kevin continued looking into the code to understand what is going on with the frontend code with the badge system and to track what occurs when trying to delete a badge. As listed from last week, Kevin found the delete function was working properly but the user profile component was getting stale data. Kevin fixed this by updating the user profile and passing in a function from user profile that ‘saves’ the page, to properly update all data and refresh with the correct data.

He also fixed the user profile badge system to properly update the featured badges list when assigning user new badges. This process was much of the same with deleting the badges, so Kevin pretty much called the same function. Kevin additionally fixed deleted badges counting toward the max of 5 featured badges, this involved decrementing the featured badges counter when deleting a featured badge. He also did a PR review of a backend commit of reverting to the old timer system and pushed his PR fix to the badge system. Pictures below relate to this work, see how they relate to creating a meaningful life.

Guilherme Wustro (Front End Developer) completed his 3rd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Guilherme changed about 34 files that were using the hasPermission function, but he had some bugs, and not all tests are working right now. He started to modify some tests, adding to the mockStates and mockAdminState the rolesMockup, since it’s a new addition that affects all these components. Guilherme also started to think about the relation about back-end and front-end permissions, including some solutions to this case in the google drive file. Pictures below relate to this work, see how they relate to creating a meaningful life.

Aashish Thapa Magar (Full Stack Software Developer) completed his 3rd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, no new functionality was added. The filter to eliminate duplicate badges isn’t working as intended. The values passed between the components are difficult to pinpoint. How a badge that is a lower streak is still shown in the badgeCollection even after getting a better higher streak is still unknown. Pictures below relate to this work, see how they relate to creating a meaningful life.

Alisson Rubas (Full Stack Developer) completed his 2nd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This past week, Alisson spent his volunteer time studying the users’ authorization roles to try to figure out the best way to fix his bug. Some of his approaches were reading articles, watching videos, and consulting with more experienced devs. As it was requested by Jae, Alisson put the CSS changes from last week back as they were. Pictures below relate to this work, see how they relate to creating a meaningful life.

Vivian Baik (Software Engineer and Project Team Leader) also joined the team and completed her 1st week helping with the Highest Good Network software. In addition to getting acquainted with the existing HGN Phase 1 software, she started to develop a user stories flowchart for the HGN Phase 2 which is a material, equipment and tool (MET) tracking web application. Vivian also started to develop wireframes for the main project dashboard and form for adding materials. See pictures below for some of this work on how they relate to creating a meaningful life.

  - Learn about the different village models on how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful: 7 Sustainable Village Models
  - Visit the open source portals for the first two: Earthbag Village OS Hub | Straw Bale Village OS Hub

This week the core team member managing the aircrete compression testing team worked with the aircrete team to organize a materials list, preliminary testing on foam quality when using soft water, and reiterated better HGN-related communication to avoid further blue squares. The same team member also continued to address comments in the City Center Hub Connector final document and worked on and assigned to Luis the final steps needed to complete the energy task. Pictures below are related to this work, see how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

Stacey Maillet (Graphic Designer) completed her 82nd week working on the final edits and revisions to the Murphy bed instructions. This week Stacey completed a version of the instructions that are ready for a final review. The PDF has been updated with new cover pages and a directory added to the beginning of the booklet. There is a glossary being added to the back pages that is not completed yet.

The URL links in the component section can be updated to working links but this will be done manually and at the same time we can create the glossary. Depending on final use, several versions of the booklet can be created. For now, we are focusing on a PDF file format which is intended to be either downloaded or viewed online. If the booklet needs to be more interactive with clickable images and links to videos, those features can also be added later to any PDF or ai file. Screenshots below relate to this work, see how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

Luis Manuel Dominguez (Research Engineer) completed his 64th week, now helping mainly with the Solar Microgrid sizing. Luis met with the core team to discuss the Solar Sizing Project and developed some calculations for analyzing the energy demand. He will continue working on validating his methodology and look to begin documentation modifications for the the Net-zero Bathroom component in the meantime. Pictures below are related to this work, see how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

Diwei Zhang (Mechanical Engineer) completed his 31st week of work, now focused on 3D modeling and analysis review for the Net-zero Bathroom component of the Earthbag Village. ‹â€¹This week Diwei edited spreadsheets of peak discharge calculations for the stormwater harvesting system based on comments and summarized the filtration of the disinfection train of the rainwater harvesting drinking system. Some processes of water treatment were discussed and labels were added to some figures of the storage containers outlet and water treatment train. Pictures below show some of this work, see how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

Ming Weng (MS Geography & Environmental Engineering) completed his 27th 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 continued tasks from previous weeks: Calling on business owners that he had already sent messages to, looking for potential plants/facilities, recording their info on the spreadsheet, and contacting sellers for instructions, especially on minimum capacity per day to fulfill our goals for small communities. Pictures below show some of this work-in-progress, see how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

Jieying “Mercy” Cai (Sustainability and Climate Policy Researcher) completed her 7th 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 continued her research on recycling construction waste. She rewrote the section about impact crushing and added more hardware/plant options. Mercy also researched how to recycle waxed cardboard and absorbent hygiene products. She finished writing both sections and filling the table for plant recommendations for these two feedstocks. See below for some pictures related to this work and on how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

Philip Bogaerts (Structural Window Designer) completed his 6th week working on completing the Most Sustainable Windows and Doors research. This week Philip corrected the remarks in the door spreadsheet and started determining which window manufacturers will be considered for the ‘Best window’ spreadsheet. In the spreadsheet, Philip finished 2 qualification sections and worked on two others. He did this while adding some research about PVC, comparing them with other materials such as fiberglass and aluminum. See below for some pictures of this work on how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

The Compression Team consisting of Genesis Avila (Engineering Intern Researcher), Joshua Jacob (Engineering Intern Researcher), and Fatima Duenas-Esparza (Engineering Intern Researcher) completed their 2nd week helping with the Aircrete and earthbag compression testing. This week the Compression Testing Team practiced using the compression testing equipment. They used the old cylinders that the previous team made for stucco and didn’t end up using. This provided the team with practice on how to maneuver the compressor. They also prepared a materials list and shared it with Jae to confirm the procurement of resources and came up with a new approach for recording data. Pictures below are related to this work, see how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is preserving conditions that make life wonderful 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 on how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful: Duplicable City Center Open Source Hub

This week the core team continued creating the 3D SketchUp model for the City Center first floor dormer framing. We finished modeling the first floor dormer that includes modeling the rafter tails for the dormer roof, roof rakes (two on each side), fascia boards and framing for siding support. We also started creating a model for framing of the second floor dormer. We designed a 48″x48″ sliding window, set up the height from the floor to the window (3′ 5/8″), installed a double sill for the window, and designed framing in the lower part of the under-window wall section. See below on how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

Venus Abdollahi (Architectural Designer) completed her 52nd week helping finish the Duplicable City Center designs. This week Venus worked on detailing the roofs for the 4th floor. She exported all roofs from SketchUp to Revit with the correct scale and angles and added the joint details to the roofs. See pictures below for how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

This week Daniela Andrea Parada (Civil Engineering Student) completed her 48th week, now focused mostly on the Duplicable City Center “Updated City Center Project Specification and Design Basis” report. This week Daniela focused on editing and responding to comments on her Flexible Pavement Design section.

She went back to previous resources to look through and figure out how she could clarify the narrative. For a couple of comments, Daniela decided to come back to them later because she began to research but realized she needed more information outside of the sources she already had. Daniela continued research for some comments, added to the glossary, focused on rereading sections and working on how to improve them. Pictures below are related to this work, see how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

Yuxi Lu (Architectural Designer) completed her 47th week working on the Duplicable City Center architectural review and updates related to the structural code. This week Yuxi installed downspouts for the community center. Using previously designed locations as reference, new downspouts were added following the new building additions.

The newly added parts were highlighted in green for further review. The team also pointed out the sustainable ideas behind varying ground pavement that the majority of the roads being compact gravel/soil instead of concrete mix. Road material in the master file was updated according to this so it will be reflected accurately in the renders. Pictures of some of this work are below, see how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

Jessica Santos (Architect) completed her 17th week working on the interior design for the Duplicable City Center rental rooms. This week, Jessica researched ideas for pieces and panels made of wood for the curved walls of her sunrise room. She worked on the 3D model, created a panel with a sunset made of wood, and tried different models with different shapes and colors to adapt for the design that she has been creating. See below for some pictures of this work on how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

Gabriela Vilela S. C. Diniz (Architect and Urban Planner) completed her 17th week working on the interior design for the Duplicable City Center rental rooms. This week, Gabriela updated the name of her room to “Old Hollywood” and worked on the 3D model, adding more details, changing the chandelier, photo frames, wall covering, pillows and adding a timber ceiling. She also started working on the cost analysis table adding the first basic items (Bed, Closet, Sofa, etc.). Pictures below are related to this work, see how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

Charles Gooley (Web Designer) completed his 8th week working on the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering webpage and the City Center Eco-spa and Natural Pool page. Charles spent most of the time this week working on the Table of Contents for the spa page, making sure all the anchor links worked, that there were no typos, and no syntax errors. Charles also updated the captions to be title case and corrected the City Center Hub Connector page based on feedback. See below for some pictures of this work on how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

Julia Meaney (Researcher and Assistant to Executive Director) completed her 8th week with the team. This week, Julia reviewed the Feedback PDF for the “City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering” webpage and resolved and added comments as necessary. She also continued to edit and review the corresponding Google Doc and made necessary content edits directly to the webpage. Julia then carefully checked this webpage against the Webpage Review Checklist in order to finalize it for One Community’s website.

Julia also reviewed the “BEST DOORS” and “Scoring Criteria Doors” tabs of the “Most Sustainable Windows and Doors” research spreadsheet. She made grammar, spelling, and formatting edits as needed and used the comments to communicate questions and clarifications. Julia then reviewed and edited the “Flexible Pavement Design” section of the “Roadways, Walkways, Gutters, and Parking Lot Report/Tutorial” Google Doc. Finally, Julia began reviewing the “Aircrete Engineering and Research: Compression Testing, Mix Ratios, R-value, and More” webpage. She went through the Feedback PDF and resolved, addressed, and added comments when necessary. Below are some images related to this work, see how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is preserving conditions that make life wonderful 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 on how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful: Hoop House Hub | Aquapini & Walipini Open Source Hub
  - See what we’ll be growing: Gardens & Hoop Houses | Large-scale Structures | Food Forest | TA

This week the core team continued detailed review and feedback on the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan. We reviewed the 3-Day Menu Block doc and addressed comments, then reworked the recipes through page 163. The primary comments addressed small portions and excess sodium levels. Numerous edits were made to titles, Tbsp vs tsp, capitalizations within the recipe titles and ingredients lists. See below for how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

- - Read the Highest Good society overview: Highest Good Society
  - Learn about the model for fulfilled living and sharing on how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful: 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 week the core team completed 21 hours managing One Community volunteer-work review not included above, emails, social media accounts, web development, Highest Good Network software checkins and review, and interviewing and getting set up new volunteer team members. Pictures below show some of this, see how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

The core team also completed another 14 hours of reviewing, giving feedback, and creating imagery and video for the new overview video (and other videos) Arthur is developing. The pictures below show some of this review work, see how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

Here are some of the images we created for the new video updates:

Yiyun Tan (Management Dashboard Team Leader) completed her 28th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Yiyun tried to fix the backend merge issue due to Andrew’s new timer feature. She also dove into Eiki’s PRs, trimming the backend PR code. For the frontend PR, Yiyun spent a lot of time to merge it because of the large scope of it. She merged it successfully but found some functionality that didn’t work. Pictures of some of this work are below, see how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

Vera Timokhina (Software Engineer) completed her 17th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Vera finished fixing the bugs with the project’s pie charts where the names of projects were not always displayed in the list. Now the backend passes data about the projects to which the tasks belong to the frontend. Vera also finished redesigning the project report page. She fixed the filters so they work properly and the table now looks like those on the rest of the report pages. See pictures below for some of this work on how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

Yan Xu (Software Development Engineer) completed her 15th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week she created a final day button for the admin user according to the requirement “Only an Admin can make a person inactive. This can be done on their Profile Page or through Other Links â User Management (only visible to Admins).” In the past, the final button was shown only on the view profile page, and this week, she put this button on the user management page too. For the emailsender function, Yan also changed the subject and body based on feedback. See pictures below for some of this work on how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

Arthur Olifant (Videographer) completed his 12th week helping with updating all our homepage videos. This Week, Arthur focused on working on the Main page video. He added in the block pictures (2x) and fixed a variety of other details based on feedback. In addition to this, he delivered final versions of all of the Highest Good videos and the 5 main videos to Jae. See pictures below that are related to this work and on how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

Kaung Htet Myat (Software Engineer) completed his 7th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Kaung continued working on setting the default tab to tasks if the user role is admin/owner/manager/mentor and/or if the volunteer has any tasks assigned. Kaung wrote a function to check if the volunteer user has a task assigned. At first he encountered a bug where the tasks do not show up if the user is a volunteer.

However, he later found out that this was not a bug, but rather the tasks did not show up because the user account that he is testing has no teams assigned to it. Kaung also reviewed a PR and joined the team working on the dashboard feature. See pictures below for some of this work on how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

Bruce Lin (Software Engineer) completed his 5th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Bruce finished implementing the functionality of using a web crawler to crawl all the people’s image links and names down for later use. Although he had some difficulties because of the inconsistencies of the html content, eventually he managed to get all the people’s information correctly and is now able to move forward to the next stage. Pictures below relate to this work, see how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

Kevin Shields (Software Engineer) completed his 2nd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. Kevin continued looking into the code to understand what is going on with the frontend code with the badge system to track what occurs when trying to delete a badge. As mentioned from last week, Kevin found the delete function was working properly but the user profile component was getting stale data. Kevin fixed this by updating the user profile and passing in a function from user profile that ‘saves’ the page, to properly update all data and refresh with the correct data.

Kevin then fixed the user profile badge system to properly update the featured badges list when assigning user new badges. This process was much of the same with deleting the badges, so Kevin pretty much called the same function within this component as well. He also fixed deleted badges counting toward the max of 5 featured badges. This involved decrementing the featured badges counter when deleting a featured badge. Kevin additionally did a PR review of a backend commit of reverting to the old timer system and pushed his PR for fixing the badge system. Pictures below relate to this work, see how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

Guilherme Wustro (Front End Developer) completed his 2nd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Guilherme created the route/roles in the back-end to be used in the front-end. This route is used to update a role that already exists, to create a new role, and to fetch all roles. Using this created route, he made the reducers/actions adapting to the existing logic made by Miguel, but making some changes. Pictures below relate to this work, see how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

Aashish Thapa Magar (Full Stack Software Developer) completed his 2nd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. The total badge count and header data bug have been fixed. They weren’t designed to update upon login or logout, which is why they were one refresh behind from showing the actual data.

The attempt to reproduce duplicate badges have been unsuccessful. The idea of creating a filter that will first check to see if a badge type is already assigned to a user and if true, add the count to the total count of that badge type is taken into consideration, but at first the code behind creation of duplicate badges needs to be checked. Pictures below relate to this work, see how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

Alisson Rubas (Full Stack Developer) also joined the team and completed his 1st week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This past week, Alisson helped review the PRs provided by Vera (#534) and Kevin (#531). He also started working on “Medium: bug number 4. The goal of this bug is to see another person’s Dashboard.

This is needed so an Admin or other team member can see exactly what the other person sees. This will save time fixing problems related to their dashboard and communicating with them about it. Also so a non-admin can view relevant information there that might only otherwise be viewable with Admin permissions. Working on this this week, Alisson made some changes in the CSS file for his new task to fix the yellow popup container so it remains at the top of the screen rather than vanishing. Pictures below relate to this work, see how they relate to preserving conditions that make life wonderful.

  - Learn about the different applied eco-knowledge 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 week the core team member managing the aircrete compression testing team organized materials for the aircrete team. The week’s schedule, general preparation, pre-experimentation and preliminary order list for materials was identified, they had their weekly meeting, and details were clarified regarding the HGN-related communication. The same team member also addressed several comments in the city center hub connector final document, revised some statics equations, added verbiage, started putting together the DIY option details, and verified text.

Luis Manuel Dominguez (Research Engineer) completed his 63rd week by wrapping up the research related to the City Center Eco-spa designs as an example of applied eco-knowledge and continuing his review of the Net-zero Bathroom calculations completed by Diwei. He verified the final touches of the City Center Spa design narrative for the website and validated the Net-Zero Bathroom calculations. Pictures below are related to this work.

Diwei Zhang (Mechanical Engineer) completed his 30th week of work, now focused on 3D modeling and analysis review for the Net-zero Bathroom component of the Earthbag Village. ‹â€¹This week Diwei wrote the narrative for the configuration of the various water tanks. The advantages and disadvantages of connecting tanks in series and in parallel were introduced. Two configurations of two and four tanks connected in parallel for the rooftop rainwater harvesting system were presented. Piping, valve, fitting, and valves were summarized. Different types of pressure tanks were also discussed. This is a proof of applied eco-knowledge. Pictures below show some of this work.

Ming Weng (MS Geography & Environmental Engineering) completed his 26th 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 similar tasks as the last week: seeking merchants selling WTE facilities at Alibaba. Maybe because of the lengthy inquiry message, not so many responses have been received from merchants. An adjustment should be made on the wording to make sure the contact step can be initiated. Engaging merchants feedback positively impacts applied eco-knowledge. Pictures below show some of this work-in-progress.

Jieying “Mercy” Cai (Sustainability and Climate Policy Researcher) completed her 6th 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 reinitiated the research on addressing non-recyclables (e-waste, construction materials, waxed cardboard, etc). She recreated the comparison table according to the template and looked for recycling plants for e-waste and construction waste.

She also restructured the tutorials and removed irrelevant parts and references. She researched and wrote the e-waste section in the tutorial and researched recycling methods for construction materials. With research activities in place applied eco-knowledge is achievable cost-effectively. Adopting reuse of product is a practical achievement of applied eco-knowledge. See below for some pictures related to this work.

Philip Bogaerts (Structural Window Designer) completed his 5th week working on completing the Most Sustainable Windows and Doors research. This week Philip completed the spreadsheet of the door section and started organizing the windows section. He was also researching which door manufacturers are also manufacturing windows and came to the conclusion that the window manufacturers will probably be different from the door manufacturers. This, because those who do both, usually do not come out on top and therefore it seems companies who focus on doors or windows only are better choices. Focusing on markets products gives a clear path for applied eco-knowledge development. See below for some pictures of this work.

The Compression Team consisting of Genesis Avila (Engineering Intern Researcher), Joshua Jacob (Engineering Intern Researcher), and Fatima Duenas-Esparza (Engineering Intern Researcher) joined One Community and completed their 1st week helping with the Aircrete and earthbag compression testing. This week, the aircrete team set up the new mixer recommended by Aircrete Harry and created an excel sheet of materials on hand and an order list. The team looked into getting soft water and, out of the options available, decided to go with buying gallon jugs of distilled water. The team also worked on locating the air compressor and getting weekend access to the lab. Pictures below are related to this work.

APPLIED ECO-KNOWLEDGE

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is open sourcing applied eco-knowledge 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 building applied eco-knowledge and it’s function: Duplicable City Center Open Source Hub

This week the core team started creating the 3D SketchUp model for the City Center first floor dormer framing. We set up double level cripple studs, double sill plates for the window, king studs, trimmer studs, header, dormer corner post, dormer double rafter plates, and the dormer ridge and roof rafters. We also sized the window to 36” x 72”. The same team member also worked on updates for the Aircrete Engineering and Research webpage. She resolved comments by fixing formatting of paragraphs, adding 2px borders to the images, and checked the HTML code to remove code for ‘font-weight: 400″ formatting.

Venus Abdollahi (Architectural Designer) completed her 51st week helping finish the Duplicable City Center designs. This week Venus updated the interior design for room 12 and worked on detailing the new cupola roof. She exported the roof models from the SketchUp file to Revit for detailing, made a 3D model of the roofs on Revit, and requested the exact number of dimensions and height of the roofs in order to continue working on the detailing. See pictures below.

This week Daniela Andrea Parada (Civil Engineering Student) completed her 47th week, now focused mostly on the Duplicable City Center â€œUpdated City Center Project Specification and Design Basis” report. This week Daniela finished fixing all of the bullet points that were numbered incorrectly based on what she had noted previously. At times the formatting of the bullet points on the doc created other issues. After completing this, Daniela started working on the List of Tables.

She went through the report multiple times and labeled all of the tables and bookmarked them. After going through and including the tables she had previously missed, Daniela linked the bookmarks to the top of the report where the List of Tables is. She plans on going back and creating titles for all tables she found without one. Daniela then moved on to labeling the Figures in the report with the correct format. Pictures below are related to this work.

Jessica Santos (Architect) completed her 16th week working on the interior design for the Duplicable City Center rental rooms. This week Jessica did research for ideas of an abstract sunrise for the dome wall that could match with the colors and geometry proposed for the room. Then she created a couple options and tested on a 3D model. She also research ideas for texturized wallpapers and panels for the dome wall. See below for some pictures of this work.

Gabriela Vilela S. C. Diniz (Architect and Urban Planner) completed her 16th week working on the interior design for the Duplicable City Center rental rooms. This week, Gabriela finished her work on her first room, the Fairy Garden themed one. She sent all her files for final review and started her second room with the theme “Red Carpet/Oscar”. She did research and started with two options for the layout, working on the 3D. Pictures below are related to this work.

Charles Gooley (Web Designer) completed his 6th week working on the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering webpage and the City Center Eco-spa and Natural Pool page. Charles continued working on the Duplicable City Center Natural Pool and Spa page and completed migrating content from the Google Doc to the web page. He then started working on the Table of Contents and will continue next week. Charles also addressed reviewer comments on his previous page, the City Center Hub Connector page. Paying attention to reviews or feedback is a method of realizing applied eco-knowledge. See below for some pictures of this work.

Julia Meaney (Researcher and Personal Assistant to Jae) completed her 7th week. This week, Julia began with finishing off her reviewing of the Feedback PDF for the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering webpage and added, addressed, and resolved comments. She also continued to check this Webpage against the Website Review Checklist. Julia then reviewed and edited the content of the “Flexible Pavement Design” section on the “Roadways, Walkways, Gutters, and Parking Lot Report/Tutorial” Google Doc.

She added comments with questions, clarifications and more complex suggested edits as needed. When she completed this task, Julia moved on to begin work on the “BEST DOORS” tab of the “Sustainable Window and Door Research” Spreadsheet. She went through this sheet and resolved comments of suggested fixes that had been correctly addressed and also added comments with her own suggestions for improved formatting. Below are some images related to this work.

APPLIED ECO-KNOWLEDGE

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is open sourcing applied eco-knowledge 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 applied eco-knowledge 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 week the core team continued detailed review and feedback on the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan. We continued to look for ways to reduce salt content, highlighted finished and approved recipes in green, and differentiated Tbsp and tsp throughout the now 400+ page document. Applied eco-knowledge is essential in dietary development.

Marilyn Nzegwu (Chef and Culinary Consultant) completed her 25th week helping with the completion of the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan and related menu and meal plans. This week Marilyn started by correcting recipes based on comments, suggestions and new developments to the menu blocks, which included adjusting recipes or finding replacements for others. After finding that most sardine recipes she created used fresh sardines, she researched canned sardine recipes for future menus. After concluding on adjustments, Marilyn continued to add recipes to the Second Week menu blocks. Adopting other recipes is a show of applied eco-knowledge. The pictures below relate to this work.

APPLIED ECO-KNOWLEDGE

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is open sourcing applied eco-knowledge 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. This component of One Community is about 95% complete with only the Open Source School Licensing and Ultimate Classroom construction and assembly details remaining to be finished. We’ll report on the final two elements to be finished as we develop them.

With over 8 years of work invested in the applied eco-knowledge process, the sections below are all complete until we move onto the property and continue the development and open sourcing process with teachers and students – a development process that is built directly into the structure of the education program and everything else we’re creating too:

APPLIED ECO-KNOWLEDGE

HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is open sourcing applied eco-knowledge 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 applied eco-knowledge 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 week the core team completed 22 hours managing One Community volunteer-work review not included above, emails, social media accounts, web development, Highest Good Network software checkins and review, and interviewing and getting set up new volunteer team members. Pictures below show some of this.

The core team also completed about 7 more hours of reviewing, giving feedback, and creating and providing voiceover audio, imagery and video for the new overview video (and other videos) Arthur is developing. The pictures below show some of this work.

Yiyun Tan (Management Dashboard Team Leader) completed her 27th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Yiyun put most of her time into supporting others on Slack. She helped with a problem where new members cannot login or create accounts, figuring out the problem and created a PR to resolve it. She also started looking into Eiki’s remaining PR. Pictures of some of this work are below.

Vera Timokhina (Software Engineer) completed her 16th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Vera worked on fixing a bug where project names are not always displayed in the pie charts on the people report page. She wrote a solution, but didn’t get a chance to test it because the application started crashing with a database error.

This error is not related to the solution and it crashes even on the development branch. So now Vera is trying to find the cause of this error. She also spent time investigating a bug related to displaying tangible time by categories on people’s profile page. Processes also encounters challenges and therefore, applied eco-knowledge must be given much attention to minimize errors. See pictures below for some of this work.

Yan Xu (Software Development Engineer) completed her 14th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. Yan pushed her PR for adding the email reminder for the final Day. This PR enables the app to send an email from our gmail to our Admin’s gmail after the last day they set passes. She also fixed the timezone problem for the final day. In the past, the endDate was converted to UTC timezone in the backend, but now it’s changed to use local time (where a person’s machine is located). Applied eco-knowledge is time bound to achieving the set goals. See pictures below for some of this work.

Arthur Olifant (Videographer) completed his 11th week helping with updating all our homepage videos. This week, Arthur worked on finalizing the all 5 main videos and the Highest good videos. He exported the final versions of the 5 main videos, delivered three versions of the Main-Page video, and almost finished the Highest Good education video. See pictures below that are related to this work.

Kaung Htet Myat (Software Engineer) completed his 6th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Kaung continued working with the bug for the Tasks and Timelogs component. With Jae’s help, Kaung was able to spot that he forgot a simple calculation from his last PR. He worked on the simple change and was able to fix the problem. He also made sure that the “Week before last” component is working.

Then he published the PR and the new changes were pushed to the “development” branch as well as the beta app. Kaung also reviewed and approved Yiyun’s PR which is a fix on his previous component to make sure that the current user is shown above if there are tasks assigned. Kaung also wrote a function to change the default tab on Tasks and Timelogs based on the current user’s role in the app. See pictures below for some of this work.

Bruce Lin (Software Engineer) completed his 4th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Bruce confirmed from Yiyun that using a web crawler to get all the images from the website is a feasible way and the right direction to go. He took some time to learn how to build this web crawler. In addition, Bruce found out that to get the user’s names, regular expression is needed and he will dive deeper. Pictures below relate to this work.

Hani Khellafi (Software Developer) completed his 3rd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Hani recloned and set up his HGN rest and HGN react App to fix the task board issue. He also worked on fixing the “Mark as read button dismisses the red bell sign only” and the “log/edit/delete timeEntry actions need refreshing the page.” During the process of fixing these bugs, he encountered the same issue regarding the missing current week timeEntries on his local App. Pictures below relate to this work.

Kevin Shields (Software Engineer) joined the team and completed his 1st week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Kevin got the frontend and backend fully setup, created some test accounts, ran into crash issues with non-admin accounts without projects, and reported the crash to Slack. He then looked into the HGN github to understand more about how the PR reviews work in this system, signed up for two bugs on the ‘HGN Phase I Bugs and Needed Functionalities’ page, and began working on the badge deletion issues.

Kevin primarily focused on these issues this week while learning the frontend system. Kevin is pretty certain he’s narrowed down the issue to a couple of possibilities because the data is actually getting deleted, so it’s most likely an issue with stale data that the UI is using. Pictures below relate to this work.

Guilherme Wustro (Front End Developer) joined the team too and completed his 1st week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Guilherme set up the React App locally and also the APNRest to do some tests. He also installed redis, nvm (node version manager), and read some documentation about the project. He learned about the HGN Permissions System and cloned the previous designer’s branch ‘Miguel-PermissionsDashboard’.

After this, Guilherme created a modal with a form that, when the submit button is clicked, returns an object with an array of the permissions selected and the name of the role. This functionally is working just in the Front-end but still needs to connect with the back-end, to create the reducers/actions. Pictures below relate to this work.

Aashish Thapa Magar (Full Stack Software Developer) also joined the team and completed his 1st week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Aashish went through the orientation and initial setup processes, documentation, and reviewed the front and backend codes to get a proper picture of the overall structure or architecture of the web app. He then began working on bugs with the badges system, focusing first on bugs related to the badge counts. Applied eco-knowledge must be identifiable thus badges are necessary. Pictures below relate to this work.
