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 demonstrating sustainability as a path to a more luxurious 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:

This week, Abhishek Kadian (Architect) completed the Revit model, along with the nearly finished roof section details for individual blocks, including the Dome structure of Earthbag Village (Pod 1) and the Flat roof surface for the gathering space composed of wooden joists. The section cut has already been executed; it just requires the addition of a few more details. Check out the collage below to see his models.

Charles Gooley (Web Designer) focused on the Resources section and Tables of Contents in the Open Source DIY Earth Dam and construction for the Water Retention, Pond, and Lake Creation, etc. page. The page has been finalized and is now ready for review. Following this completion, attention shifted to addressing comments on the Most Sustainable Doors and Door Companies page, primarily addressing typographical errors in the mouseover title text. Subsequently, efforts continued on reviewing comments related to the Water Recycling Net-Zero Bathroom page. The majority of these comments were related to grammatical and typographical errors. Two comments required clarification, involving the correction of headings. Adjustments were made, including converting some h3 headings to h2, changing h6 to h3, and transforming certain paragraph underlined headings to h3 (capitalized and not underlined). We see readily available water and recreational water features as a big part of sustainability as a path to a more luxurious life. See the images below for an idea of his work completing these web pages.

Another core team member engaged in Highest Good Network PR testing, confirming several fixed PRs, including #1827 and #1819+700. However, PR #545+1336, aimed at custom permissions in the project management tab, remained unresolved as the volunteer account could not access the “Other Links” button and the associated Projects options despite being granted permissions by the owner. Additionally, they provided an additional image for a previously reported bug concerning incorrect dates in the working week for Time log entries. The core team member further investigated the ability of a Volunteer account to update the Timelog of an Owner user, recording a video to document the findings.

The Graphic Design Team’s summary was managed by Ruiqi Liu (Administrative Assistant) and includes Ashlesha Navale (Graphic Designer), Jackie King (Graphic Designer), and Nancy Mónchez (Graphic Designer). Ashlesha worked on creating two Volunteer Announcements. She created two bio images and two announcement images for the same. She created and updated web content for one of the volunteer announcements. Ashlesha fixed and updated two Social Media Images. Additionally, she researched and curated a collection of nature-based background images and different theme-based images for creating Social Media Images. She also created fourteen artworks for food recipes. Jackie completed fourteen Social Media Images. She also logged copy into the shared “Social Media Text and Images” spreadsheet. Nancy focused on creating biographies and undertaking a redesign of social networks. In the realm of bios, she compiled detailed and informative profiles, ensuring accuracy and relevancy. She made a strategic decision to lower the shade of blue based on received feedback. This adjustment aimed to enhance the user experience by addressing color saturation concerns. Additionally, Nancy opted for a more neutral color palette to achieve a balanced and visually pleasing design.
