ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

NOTE: OUR SOFTWARE WENT DOWN THIS LAST WEEK DUE PROBLEMS OUR HOST WAS HAVING. THIS SIGNIFICANTLY DISRUPTED OUR TEAM’S ABILITY TO LOG AND REPORT ON THEIR WORK PROPERLY. FOR THIS REASON, THIS UPDATE DOESN’T INCLUDE EVERYONE’S WORK AND IS NOT A COMPLETE ONE. 

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

Highest Good housing, cob construction, earthbag construction, straw bale construction, earthship construction, subterranean construction, sustainable homes, eco-homesOne Community is creating a solution to persistent global challenges 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, Boya Wang (Architecture Designer) continued her work helping with the design for the Earthbag Village 4-dome home. Boya worked on the revision of doors and windows based on the AutoCAD drawing for Week 6, addressed the columns for the free-standing patio, and double-checked if the door and window dimensions were accurate in AutoCAD and met California Code. The windows and doors remain updated with adjustable door heights. The Earthbag Village is the first of 7 to be built as the housing component of One Community’s open source model as a solution to persistent global challenges. See his work in the collage below.

Michaela Silva (Architect) continued her work on the Earthbag Village architectural designs. This week, Michaela updated the AutoCAD titleblock to align with industry standards. She studied 4-Dome details and furniture and began coordinating the final Murphy bed design with AutoCAD drawings. Additionally, she worked on creating 4-Dome base of wall details, addressing differences from the 3-Dome foundation due to the buttress wall required for added support. During a foundation/footer study, she identified dimensional errors in existing dome sections that slightly affect the dome profile. After updating the footer/foundations accordingly, Michaela determined the proposed dome height necessary to meet minimum area and height requirements for habitable lofts. The Earthbag village forms the basis of One Community’s open source model as a solution to persistent global challenges. See her work in the collage below.

Rizwan Syed (Mechanical Engineer) also continued helping finish the Vermiculture Toilet designs. This week, Rizwan concentrated on designing bracket assemblies in SolidWorks for the vermiculture eco-toilet chamber’s removable slider blocks. He developed a preliminary L-corner bracket to act as a guide for the slider block, which is manipulated through a mechanical winch. To reinforce the structure, he added support pillars to the rear and mid-planes, ensuring the alignment of the L-shaped pieces with these pillars. After reviewing existing corner brackets used in commercial applications, Rizwan decided to use stainless steel for its durability and updated the slider block design to align seamlessly with both the outermost unistrut and the corner bracket. He also investigated the corrosion characteristics of similar metals in contact to assess the longevity of the L brackets. Additionally, he updated the vermiculture loading calculations spreadsheet by introducing simple color coding to differentiate between fixed and calculated values, thereby simplifying the stress analysis process. The vermiculture toilets and other sustainable human waste processing technologies form the basis of One Community’s open source model as a solution to persistent global challenges. Here are a few photos showing examples of his work.

ALPHA SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAM

This week, the Alpha Team’s summary, covering their work on the Highest Good Network software was managed by Zuqi Li (Administrative Assistant and Economic Analyst) and includes Anand Seshadri (Software Engineer), Jordy Corporan (Software Engineer) and Nathalia Carnevalli (Full Stack Software Developer). The Highest Good Network software is how we will manage and measure our progress as a solution to persistent global challenges using our social architecture, construction, production, and maintenance processes. This week, Anand focused on addressing the challenge of ensuring a persistent horizontal scrollbar below 576px on responsive screens. He adjusted CSS settings and applied overflow-x: auto to the body, aiming to maintain the horizontal scrollbar’s visibility.

Anand updated media queries to ensure proper vertical scrolling while keeping the horizontal scrollbar visible. He utilized the table-responsive-sm class to enable horizontal scrolling within the table’s container and implemented specific CSS for html and body elements to enforce horizontal scrolling below 576px. Despite these efforts, the desired outcome of visible horizontal scrolling and unaffected vertical scrolling was not achieved as expected. Further refinements are necessary to resolve these issues. Jordy ran into several blockers with the email controller unit tests but that did not stop him from contributing. He proceeded to refactor his code structure in his unit tests for the roles controller. Nathania did her part helping as a solution to persistent global challenges as she worked on filtering projects by person name on both the frontend and backend. She created an API that accepts a full name, splits it into first and last names, and performs a database search based on the provided name value. Additionally, she implemented the frontend to send requests to the API whenever a user types a letter. See the Highest Good Society and Highest Good Network pages for more on how this relates to a solution to persistent global challenges. View some of the team’s work in the collage below.

DEV DYNASTY SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAM

The Dev Dynasty Team’s summary, covering their work on the Highest Good Network software, was managed by Ruiqi Liu (Administrative Assistant) and includes Akshit Sharma (Software Engineer), Nahiyan Ahmed (Full Stack Software Developer), and Jatin Agrawal (Software Engineer). The Highest Good Network software is how we will manage and measure our progress as a solution to persistent global challenges using our social architecture, construction, production, and maintenance processes. Akshit’s work was focused on addressing two bugs. The first task involved adding a reminder to save changes on the Permissions Management page by creating a modal that pops up when changes are made and remains visible until they are saved, eliminating the need to scroll to the bottom to save with a “Save Changes and Close” button. Changes were made in ReminderModal.jsx, PermissionManagement.jsx, PermissionManagement.css, and UserPermissionPopUp.jsx. The second task involved adding a loading spinning circle for the projects page when members don’t load, incorporating the logic into Members.jsx and updating the fetchAllMembers logic in projectMembers.js.

Jatin completed the task “Quick Setup Function Permissions” ahead of schedule and started a new task titled “Fix New People Added to Projects Not Showing Up as Resource to Add to Tasks.” Additionally, he completed the volunteer trends page for the “Weekly Volunteer Summary” bug and reviewed PR#2343 as requested by the maintainer. Nahiyan did his part helping as a solution to persistent global challenges as he completed PR 2370, which fixed an issue with the projects table not fully updating contents when toggling to or from dark mode by using a useEffect hook. He also made a commit for requested changes that altered the colors of the dropdown items and their backgrounds in the header. See the Highest Good Society and Highest Good Network pages for more on how this relates to a solution to persistent global challenges. The collage below shows some of this work.

EXPRESSERS SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAM

The Expressers Team’s summary, covering their work on the Highest Good Network software, was managed by Shereen Punnassery (Full Stack Software Engineer) and includes KyoSook Shin (Software Engineer). The Highest Good Network software is how we will manage and measure our progress as a solution to persistent global challenges using our social architecture, construction, production, and maintenance processes. This week, KyoSook made several significant updates and bug fixes across both frontend and backend systems. On the frontend, new fetchBMProjectMember routines were added in various files, including projectMemberAction.js, BMTimeLogCard.jsx, BMTimeLogMembers.jsx, projectMemberReducer.js, reducers/index.js, and utils/URL.js. A separate URL was introduced to retrieve timelogger information, and the React reducer was confirmed to work correctly after integrating timelogger-related API functions, with clear communication established between the client and server. On the backend, fetchProjectMembers router and controller routines were added in bmProjectController.js and bmProjectRouter.js to aggregate member information based on project ID. Efforts were made to analyze and fetch information from the userProfile model, resolving an issue with populating member information. It was discovered that the project model schema’s use of “teams” as both the field name and reference name caused errors in retrieving team information, necessitating a change in the field name. Additionally, attempts to populate each member’s assigned tasks revealed that the userProfile schema lacks task information, requiring a lookup in the Task schema for matching user IDs of project members.

Shereen worked on the reusable bulk update component. She created new files to display the list of reusables and also to update them. Additionally, she created reducer functions that determine how the state of an application changes in response to update actions.

GIT-R-DONE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAM

The Git-R-Done Team’s summary, covering their work on the Highest Good Network software, was managed by Hiral Soni (Full Stack Developer) and includes Malav Patel (Software Developer), Sushmitha Prathap (Software Developer) and Youyou Zhang (Software Developer). The Highest Good Network software is how we will manage and measure our progress as a solution to persistent global challenges using our social architecture, construction, production, and maintenance processes. This week, Malav tackled various tasks to fix bugs in the DELETE_TIME_ENTRY_OTHERS feature and HGN software development. He made changes to restrict the permission of volunteers to delete owners/admins/managers’ Time Entry Logs, pushed the changes into his branch, and completed the task and testing. He solved many issues that arose during the bug-fixing phase. He also worked on an efficiency task to determine where HGN needs to improve performance.

Sushmitha fixed errors and ran final checks on the unit tests for the task controller. She updated the project controller branch with new changes from the development branch, resolved conflicts, and re-did the unit test for the project controller. Sushmitha worked on the remaining functions for the task controller and addressed a git error. Youyou did her part helping as a solution to persistent global challenges as she made progress on fixing the issue where new permission roles were not showing up in the permission role list. The app now correctly creates new roles with specific names and selected permissions, and the response handling ensures that an error caught by Axios does not display a success message. However, her changes currently require a manual refresh to update the permission role list. See the Highest Good Society and Highest Good Network pages for more on how this relates to a solution to persistent global challenges. See the collage below for the team’s work this week.

The Highest Good Network software is how we will manage and measure our progress as a solution to persistent global challenges using our social architecture, construction, production, and maintenance processes. Changhao worked on unit test development, team time log management and the weekly team meeting. Dhairya resolved the “Fix Projects find user function” task and initiated the development of a sort and search function. Hetvi worked on documenting functionality post-completion and recorded instructional videos. She backed up and restored the live server database locally, added category code to a child theme, and managed data entry for dropdown options in the Highest Good Education search engine.

Hoang did his part helping as a solution to persistent global challenges as he focused on two of his previous pull requests: adding copy functionality and fixing the project report table (#2163) and addressing hours input issues in the task modal (#2135). Peterson enhanced project creation functionality in the user profile section and projects tab with new features this week. He introduced a cancel button during project creation and automatic project selection for easier user inclusion. He also refined category selection to exclusively appear for Owners and implemented various usability improvements. Shiwani focused on unit tests for the Projects module, adding 15 detailed test cases. She ensured the component was rendered without crashing using a mock Redux store and verified the presence of various headers and elements such as Projects, Project Name, Category, Active, Members, and WBS. Shiwani also checked the visibility of AddProjects HTML elements based on user permissions and tested loading elements when fetching data.
