Srujan Pandya (Mechanical Engineer) set up the model for the dome in Abaqus, defining materials such as structural steel for the frame and machined steel for the hub connectors. He assisted with the research for regenerative and sustainable change by focusing on meshing individual parts, totaling 601 components. The mesh was hex-dominated with a swept approach along the medial axis. Coarse mesh configurations had around 500-600 nodes, while finer mesh for frames with bolted connections required approximately 2000 nodes. Even with the coarsest feasible mesh for individual frames (400-450 in number, the rest are the hub connectors), the total assembly exceeded 250,000 nodes, surpassing the limits of the academic license. Rachan facilitated a discussion with Dipak Patil, who indicated that due to the number of components and computational constraints, running the model in Abaqus or similar software would not be practical. Using a coarser mesh to fit within the limitations would compromise the accuracy of the results. Based on this, the approach shifted to frame analysis, initially explored in the first week. This method represents the frame using simple beam elements with nodes at either end, which are connected via rigid links to ensure structural continuity and correct stress transmission.

The query was designed to improve consistency across the system by ensuring accurate badge mapping, allowing for more reliable identification and validation of badge names. Pavan is addressing the corrections mentioned by the reviewers on the pull request raised for the fix member column filter task, which he raised last week. He is also working on narrowing the role column width and trying to assign some icons to further narrow the width. Pratyush created a basic donut chart representing three categories and displaying percentage values. He developed a responsive material usage dashboard that visualizes available, used, and wasted materials across different projects. The dashboard features a dynamic pie chart with material-specific color schemes that adjust based on filter selections. UI component libraries were replaced with standard HTML elements while maintaining a structured design. Interactive filters were implemented for project selection, material type, and highlighting increased usage. A usage trend indicator was added to show percentage changes from the previous week, with dynamic updates and a loading state during data fetching. Sai created a schema called villageSchema to store village details, including its name, description link, image link, map coordinates, and associated properties. A controller file was then developed to handle creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting village records. API endpoints were implemented and organized in a routes file. Postman was used to test these endpoints, and eight village records were created. Finally, verification was performed to ensure that each village had a corresponding document in MongoDB. One hurdle being faced is figuring out how to map coordinates from the static map image to each village. This work contributes to One Community’s vision for regenerative and sustainable change.

Sanjeevkumar assisted with the research for regenerative and sustainable change by beginning the onboarding process for the development team by reviewing the code for PR 1208, focusing on regression testing for identifying potential bugs. Testing was conducted based on the cases outlined in the corresponding spreadsheet. Additional test cases were evaluated for the awardBadgeTest API, with documentation maintained throughout the process. The review of cases related to badge allotment was completed, and findings were documented accordingly. Summit made several modifications to the code. The issue with badgeOfType being assigned the entire badgeCollection immediately after assigning the badge type was resolved by removing this redundant assignment. The parameters were updated to use badgeOfType.badge. Additionally, the promise for finding the badge was removed since badgeOfType was already retrieving the correct badge type, eliminating the need for another call. The addbadge function was not included in the loop as it would create duplicate badges, so it was kept separate. An unnecessary promise call was also removed, along with unneeded comments. PR #1193 is ready for review. In management tasks, he trained Denish to assume the role of manager and assigned steps 4 and 5 to two team members to assist with management responsibilities, but should also check in with them.

REACTONAUTS SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAM

This week, Akshay worked on the comments for PR #3222 and modified the code to improve responsiveness. He addressed an issue affecting the rendering of the project, people, and team dashboards in the report section by identifying specific changes on the page, tracking the code history, and locating the PR that introduced those changes. An issue in the loadTimeEntriesForPeriod function within the TotalPeoplePeriod.jsx and TotalProjectPeriod.jsx files required adjustments within the regenerative and sustainable change framework. Ghazi assisted with the research for regenerative and sustainable change by identifying and addressed a validation failure related to the password definition while creating a user, which resulted in a 501 Not Implemented error. The issue stemmed from incorrect handling or definition of the environment variable REACT_APP_DEF_PWD. To investigate, access to the .env file was requested to review the password definition and its usage in the code. The error was reproduced in the development environment, confirming that the password was being used during user creation. Access to the production database was requested to verify and resolve the issue, along with clarification on the steps involved in user creation and the role of the default password in production. Work on regenerative and sustainable change in Phase 2 development started with a review of the provided document.

Gmon has taken a new task this week to finish fixing so tasks of members are hidden with the teams toggle and add bell notifications for 50%, 75%, and 90% of the task deadline. He noticed that there is a PR already existing, and it could be marked as complete now. He finished working on his task of adding active/inactive numbers by teams on the team page, and a new pull request branch was created called Gmon-Active-NonActive-team. The PR number is PR 2850, and it is waiting for review. The old PR 2609 is under review and waiting for approval from the team members, and after that, it can be pushed to the main branch. All the relevant screenshots and video to highlight PR 2850 have been added. The screenshots and video were also organized and uploaded to Dropbox for easy reference. He also spent time understanding the project’s architecture and existing features, which supports regenerative and sustainable change in the overall development process. Haoyue assisted with the research for regenerative and sustainable change by improving the FAQ tool by refining its functionality, adding features requested by the director, and addressing reviewer feedback.

On the backend, she optimized data retrieval and logging to ensure efficient query processing.

Keying assisted with the research for regenerative and sustainable change by working on restructuring the page layout, dividing it into two sections for better organization. She developed a new component called AvailableCalendar, which allows users to view booked or available slots. The implementation involved styling and state management to ensure clarity and usability. While integrating the component, she faced challenges in handling dynamic availability data but improved the logic through iteration. She examined best practices and optimized the component’s rendering efficiency. This work contributes to One Community’s commitment to regenerative and sustainable change. Khushi is working on the Phase 3 – Event Management Page for organizers, accessible at /communityportal/activity/:activityid, to improve event oversight. She has focused on refining the CSS, fixing URL rerouting issues when switching tabs, and ensuring proper alignment of components on the page. The Event Information Middle Section displays key event details, while organizers can track progress using an editable Status & Rating System. A Date Selector Dropdown on the right side and a Calendar View assist with scheduling. The bottom section includes an editable Description Box for modifying event details. The page also features tabs for Description, Analysis, Resource, and Engagement, allowing for streamlined management. A Top Navigation Bar provides quick access to dashboards and user profiles, while a left panel highlights event details. An interactive dropdown for date selection ensures the interface remains functional and user-friendly. She also reviewed and provided feedback on the PRs she tested earlier and noticed that most of them weren’t working in data mode: #3019, which involves reapplying changes to the category columns on the projects page after some of the previous modifications were overridden, causing default categories to display as ‘Unspecified.’ She also reviewed PR #3052, including the frontend development for the Event Popularity Analytics landing page, displaying drop-off and no-show rates metrics. This PR added new components and updated the routes.js file for the analysis page, with mock data used to verify the UI, #2975 for unit testing of the Add Task Modal component to improve accessibility and edge case handling. Regenerative and sustainable change is key to advancing the effectiveness of the platform’s tools for the community.

Mohan assisted with the research for regenerative and sustainable change by working on troubleshooting an issue in collaboration with the core team. He manually ran the cron job to identify the underlying cause of the problem and assess its impact. To correct the issue, necessary adjustments were made by adding the missed hours in MongoDB to maintain accurate records and ensure data consistency, promoting regenerative and sustainable change in the workflow. Nikhil wrote a unit test for the bmProjectController.js file and completed it. He then assisted with the research for regenerative and sustainable change by working on a unit test for the bmReusableController.js file, analyzing its functions and determining the necessary test cases. He reviewed existing test coverage to identify gaps and wrote test cases to ensure proper functionality. During this process, he debugged issues, refined assertions, and verified expected outcomes.

Pallavi assisted with the research for regenerative and sustainable change by working on the backend, updating it to support granular permission management for creating and managing question sets in ad applications. A new permission, “create_form_question,” was added to the user role schema, allowing designated users, beyond the owner, to create and manage different question sets. The role model was updated to include this permission, which could be assigned or removed as needed. New API endpoints were implemented to handle the dynamic assignment and revocation of this permission, similar to the approach used in the HGN app. Additionally, the permissions management system was expanded to include “Add Role,” “Delete Role,” “Edit Role,” and “Edit Individual User Permissions.” These new permissions enabled designated users to manage not only question sets but also roles and access levels within the system. Endpoints were created to facilitate the assignment and removal of these permissions at both the user and role levels, ensuring secure administrative control. This work contributes to One Community’s vision for regenerative and sustainable change. Peterson assisted with the research for regenerative and sustainable change by updating a unit test code after fixing a bug last week. Before the fix, the test was passing, but after the bug fix, it began failing. After the update, the test is passing again.

Rishitha assisted with the research for regenerative and sustainable change by adding the “R” icon functionality for accessing a person’s report on the User Management page. The icon, reused from the Dashboard Tasks tab, was placed to the right of the green dot, enabling users to navigate to the Reports section of that particular individual. For regenerative and sustainable change, she submitted a pull request for the changes. Saniya was given a new task related to Figma and has begun reviewing the requirements and exploring the design aspects. She is analyzing the existing design structure and evaluating any modifications needed. Meanwhile, her previous task has been moving forward through the pull request approval process, with multiple approvals already received. The changes are merged into the main codebase, bringing regenerative and sustainable change to the project. Sharadha assisted with the research for regenerative and sustainable change by working on improving search result relevance by ensuring that when a keyword is present in both the job title and summary, the results display correctly. She made updates to both the backend and frontend, including changes to the jobsController.js file and adjustments to collaboration.jsx to improve user interface usability. She also worked on implementing filters for job postings. This work contributes to One Community’s vision for regenerative and sustainable change.

Xiyan assisted with the research for regenerative and sustainable change by integrating an advanced URL shortening service into the Highest Good Network application.
