Creating Objective and Measurable Global Transformation – One Community Weekly Progress Update #111

Creating objective and measurable global transformation through open source sustainability will positively affect us all. Open source solutions are affordable solutions, and adding the foundations of making these easy enough and demonstrating them as attractive enough will predictably spread these solutions. Approaching this with a philosophy of living and creating for The Highest Good of All adds in the necessary global perspective:

• Here’s our project overview
• Here’s our world-change methodology
• Here’s how this becomes self-replicating
• Here’s how we are open source and free-sharing all the do-it-yourself designs

ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is creating objective and measurable global transformation 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 25% of the written section and images for the “Nature” lesson plan to the website – which you can see here:

Nature Lesson Plan – 25% Complete – Click to Visit Page

Behind the scenes we also wrote another 25% of “Nature” lesson plan, bringing it to 50% written completion.

Also behind the scenes, we wrote the next 25% of our lesson plan with the central theme of “Open Source”, bringing that to 75% complete. These lesson plans are purposed to teach all subjects, to all learning levels, in any learning environment using the central theme.

Another behind the scenes component we worked on is the development of a comprehensive evaluation/assessment and mutual feedback model for students and their teachers. Here you can see the outline for task-based assessments:

Paige Allison Donatelli (Graphic Designer and Owner Operator of Namaste Living in a Material World) finished the first 25% of the image creation for the Nature lesson mindmap, which you can see here.

Paige also helped us create this new image for the “Harmony” lesson plan, which we featured this week across our social media channels:

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is creating objective and measurable global transformation 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 finished the final social media imagery and featured our open source cucumbers hub:

And we did this for our food forest groundcover plantings hub too:

We also researched and added the final major component to the open source sweet potatoes hub: RECIPES! You can see these new additions here. These first recipe lists will grow as our food experts continue the process of designing the Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan for remote village construction.

In addition to this, we added two new delicious recipes from Sandra Sellani (Vegan Chef and author of What’s Your BQ?) to the Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan: White Bean and Fennel Chili, and Mashed Sweet Potato Tacos… both with rice and Macadamia Sour Cream:

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is creating objective and measurable global transformation 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 continued progress on the assembly specifics for the Open Source Murphy bed furniture. This work is happening behind the scenes and what you see here will be part of the Earthbag Village and the upcoming crowdfunding campaign. This week we redesigned the two back shelves for the his and hers storage and closet spaces and updated and relabeled all the associated images. We estimate we are now 68% complete with this behind-the-scenes work.

Also, behind the scenes, we finished another 5% of the earthdome loft construction tutorial specifics. This work included redesigning the insulatory hatch you see here for the loft storage as well as a week of work on the load calculations for appropriate sizing of the loft joists with Antonio Zambianco (Civil Engineering Student and Structural Lead for Team Brazil). We’re now 65% complete with this behind-the-scenes work.

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is creating objective and measurable global transformation 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: Duplicable City Center Open Source Hub

This last week Da Feng (Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Student) modeled the initial structure of the Duplicable City Center domes in SolidWorks this week. When complete, this modeling will allow us to run complex structural calculations.
