ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is forwarding community organized eco-restoration 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:

- - Learn about the components: Education open source hub
  - Learn how the components work together: How to use the Education for Life Program

This last week the core team transferred the first 50% of the written content for the Winter Lesson Plan to the website, as you see here. This lesson plan is purposed to teach all subjects, to all learning levels, in any learning environment, using the central theme of “Winter.”

Behind the scenes, we wrote the final 1/3 of the Winter Lesson Plan, bringing the behind-the-scenes written part for that to 100% complete and ready for addition to the site.

We also completed the final third of the mindmap for the Fall Lesson Plan. That brings this mindmap to 100% complete, which you can see here:

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is forwarding community organized eco-restoration 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: Hoop House Hub | Aquapini & Walipini Open Source Hub
  - See what we’ll be growing: Gardens & Hoop Houses | Large-scale Structures | Food Forest | TA

This last week the core team updated calculations for our Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan behind the scenes. Naturopathic Doctor Matt Marturano (creator of the COHERENT model for comprehensive digestive health) made the updates to the calculations by taking into account the specific nutrient needs of our current pioneer team.

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is forwarding community organized eco-restoration 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: 7 Sustainable Village Models
  - Visit the open source portals for the first two: Earthbag Village OS Hub | Straw Bale Village OS Hub

This last week the core team put another 10 hours into the behind-the-scenes revision for the Footers, Foundations and Flooring page for the upcoming crowdfunding campaign. This week’s focus was converting single bag details over to tubed bags, bailing twine tying updates due to exclusion of the buttress wall, and re-writing the foundation construction due to exclusion of the buttress wall.. You can see some of this work here and we’d say this brings us to 56% complete with this total rewrite and update.

We also added the written portion of the presentation the Intern Team created for the Tree House Village (Pod 7), as you can see here. This includes the considerations and rational for the service design, interior/exterior design, and structural design choices the interns made.

- - Learn about this building and it’s function: Duplicable City Center Open Source Hub

This page shares the details of the open source software we’re creating together for complete teacher/demonstration hub management, data gathering, open source collaboration and more. We’d say this page is about 50% complete:
