ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating global healing and regeneration 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 second 25% of the written content for the Work 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 “Work.”

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating global healing and regeneration 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

We completed another round of organizing the streamlined version of our Food Self-sufficiency Transition Plan page, which includes contributions provided by Naturopathic Doctor Matt Marturano (creator of the COHERENT model for comprehensive digestive health). This week we did fine-tune editing/proofreading, and organized the hub page and the links it leads to. The organization and page is now approximately 96% complete.

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating global healing and regeneration 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 crowdfunding campaign we are developing. This week’s focus was finishing the narrative for Gutter Construction, exploring the possibility of rice hulls for insulation to meet code requirements, reviewing and updating the Resources section (#15), and doing another reorganization of the sections of: Municipal/County Involvement, Centerpoint Establishment, and Utilities, Stem Wall, Floor, Foundation and Footer Excavation. We’d say we are now 68% complete with this total update and rewrite behind the scenes.

Working on the Tree House Village (Pod 7), Jesika Rohrbach (Architectural Drafter, Designer, and 3-D Modeler) began focusing on the kitchen updates you see here. These are design updates 4.0 from Jesika and include new shelving and other kitchen equipment specifics, as well as added dining seating.

Dean Scholz, Architectural Designer, further developed what’s necessary for us to create quality Cob Village (Pod 3) renders. Here is update 6.0 of this work that focused on exploring walkway coverings and doubling the maker’s spaces in both of the North wings to increase the available work space while providing an additional sound buffer for the living spaces attached to these work spaces.

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating global healing and regeneration 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 week the core team continued the process of learning how to do our own renders for the Duplicable City Center. What you see here is more of the kitchen rendering with focus on the long lights, spot lights, metal surfaces, shadows, and background landscape.

Behind the scenes Mike Hogan (Automation Systems Developer and Business Systems Consultant) and Lucas Tsutsui da Silva (4th-year Computer Engineering Student) continued discussion about what the appearance and best functional design should be for the beside-bed Control Systems interface. Here are images created by Mike for two completely different ways to wire it all.

HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating global healing and regeneration through a Highest Good society approach to living that is founded on fulfilled living, the study of meeting human needs, Community, and making a difference in the world:

- - Read the Highest Good society overview: Highest Good Society
  - Learn about the model for fulfilled living and sharing: A Day in the Life
  - Learn about the 4 economic models: RBE | For-profit | Non-profit | Entrepreneurship
  - Learn about our open source community collaboration and management software: The Highest Good Network

This last week the core team continued working on a complete update of the One Community Business plan. What you see here is our 2nd week of reformatting the plan on a GoogleDoc for easier collaboration and sharing. We’d say we are about 8% done with the complete rewrite and update.
