This week, Charles Gooley (Web Designer) focused on addressing comments for four pages. Specifically, he worked on the Most Sustainable Windows and Doors page, making adjustments to the right margins of the icons. Additionally, he gave attention to the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering and Design, along with the Rainwater Harvesting, Water Catchment, and Swale Building Open Source Hub and Portal. While most comments on the latter page were resolved, some still need clarification. Afterward, he continued work on the Most Sustainable Lightbulbs and Light Bulb Companies: Research, Energy Savings, and More” page. The sections covered reasons for comparing lightbulbs for sustainability, selecting the most sustainable light bulb, and exploring types like incandescent, compact fluorescent, and light-emitting diodes. The page also discussed discerning the best sustainable light bulbs, decoding LED light bulb labels, identifying the most sustainable light bulb companies, and evaluating the best energy-efficient lights, including alternatives. Company logos and names were linked to their respective websites as part of the ongoing content development. The One Community food and housing infrastructure will provide the space and time-freedom for maximizing involved and meaningful life experiences. See his work on sustainable lightbulbs and light bulb companies in the collage below.

This week, Amiti Singh (Architectural Designer) worked on the cost analysis related to the materials and furniture designed for Room 10 in the Duplicable City Center, focusing on achieving a Boho-industrial aesthetic. She assessed the furniture and material palettes, employing a cost analysis methodology to guide her decision-making process. After this assessment, Amiti reviewed the detailed moodboard for the room, presenting the outcomes through slides. At the same time, she worked on finalizing files for previous room design projects within the Duplicable City Center. This City Center is one of the primary gathering spaces that One Community will use while maximizing involved and meaningful life experiences. The collage below shows her cost analysis for furniture materials for the City Center.

Masasa finalized PR issues related to selecting all teams and teams without codes, ensuring their resolution. Following this, he rectified scrolling issues within the team management page. Shengwei collaborated with Vishala on optimization efforts, implementing caching strategies and streamlining the Circle CI build process to reduce resource usage. He also addressed failing unit test cases associated with PR1681 due to UI changes, modifying and updating existing test cases and adding 15 new unit tests to ensure coverage for various account scenarios. Shihao oversaw multiple development activities, ensuring project segments met standards and integrated smoothly. He reviewed and approved PRs 1708 and 1713 while addressing issues in PR#1651, resolving a specific bug affecting functionality. Shiwani concentrated on two tasks: creating a leaderboard to track team members’ off status and conducting unit tests for AddTeamPopup. She modified controllers, models and frontend components for the leaderboard, tested scenarios and submitted PRs#1722 and #660 for review. Shrey wrote unit test cases for two Timelog components, TimeEntryForm/AboutModal.jsx and TimeEntryForm/TangibleInfoModal.jsx. Vikram configured the local frontend and backend environments and engaged in the review of eight pull requests. In addition, he addressed an issue related to the non-functionality of the “90-hour in one week” badge within the HGN application. Yixiao resolved issues with the TaskEditSuggestions file. Additionally, Yixiao analyzed and wrote the test file for the selectors and service. Zuhang tackled a notable issue where the space drop-down menu failed to appear during username searches.

SKYE’S SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAM

Skye’s summary, covering their work on the Highest Good Network software, was managed by Bailey Mejia (Software Engineer) and includes Jerry Ren (Full Stack Developer), Roberto Contreras (Software Developer) and Yao Wang (Software Engineer). The Highest Good Network software is how we’ll be measuring many of the results as we’re maximizing involved and meaningful life experiences through our social architecture, construction, production, and maintenance processes. Bailey focused on enhancing the ‘submit link for review’ functionality. This feature allows users to attach links to their submissions, streamlining the review process for managers. Bailey integrated the display of these links into the managers’ dropdown menu. He also resolved an issue by creating a new field named ‘relatedWorkLinks’ in the backend, which mirrors the structure of the original ‘links’ field. Jerry executed the planning, filming, and editing of a video tutorial. This tutorial demonstrates how to use the Visual Studio Code debugger on the badge component, with a specific focus on the backend code. Additionally, he contributed to his development team by publishing a GitHub pull request (PR #665), which addressed the streak fix auto dropoff bug in the HGNRest project. Roberto focused on the “View Another Person’s Dashboard” task. His approach differed from previous attempts, as he implemented a Redux variable to store in the state, acting as a notifier to determine viewing mode. This ensures navigation throughout the website for users viewing another person’s account. Yao developed the FAQ button’s functionality, which is now operational. See the Highest Good Society and Highest Good Network pages for more on how this relates to maximizing involved and meaningful life experiences. See the collage below for some of their work.
