ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is imitating eco-success 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 week the core team had conversations with the Compression Testing Team about this week’s plan and their results, we also did some troubleshooting. Task-based deadlines were prepared for the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering Team and Yiwei was assigned to the solar content. Had a meeting with the hub connector team for next steps and results to date.

Charles Gooley (Web Designer) also completed his 23rd week helping with web design, now focused on the Best Small and Large-scale Community Options for Sustainable Processing & Reuse of Non-recyclables page. Charles spent the week working on comments, these included adding missing anchor links in the sub Table of Contents, adding some missing links, and some minor edits. Charles also worked on addressing comments for the “Sustainable Roadways, Walkways, and Landscaping” tutorial. This included mostly updating several undated images by moving the title from the image to the caption. There was some missing content that needed to be added too. Pictures below are related to this work.

The Compression Team consisting of Genesis Avila (Engineering Intern Researcher), Fatima Duenas-Esparza (Engineering Intern Researcher), and Sarah-Jean Boyd (Engineering Intern Researcher) completed their 17th weeks helping with the Aircrete and earthbag compression testing. This week the Compression Testing Team made three batches of aircrete. The first batch was made normally with Drexel, the second batch was made with RO (reverse-osmosis; soft water) using 7th Generation soap, and the third was made using normal tap water and 7th Gen soap. After making the last batch, our scale needed to be re-calibrated. The calibration weights needed to do this were not in the lab. Pictures below are related to this work.

Loza Ayehutsega (Civil Engineer/Assistant Civil Engineer) completed her 10th week helping review the Net-zero Bathroom and Earthbag Village water collection and storage engineering calculations and designs. This week Loza reviewed the report document and two topics were reviewed, rainwater harvesting systems and wastewater filtration systems. The literature points were added in the report document. Rainwater harvesting system material types were also reported in the document. See below for some pictures related to this.

Vidhi Bansal (3D Visualization Artist) completed her 6th week helping with video and AutoCAD renders for a 4-dome cluster Earthbag Village housing design. This week Vidhi worked on creating pre-visualizations, setting cameras and observing how the textures, foliage and the building appeared under motion. This helped her detect some technical issues with foliage which she is currently solving and should be sorted out by next week, as well as some glitchy movements that will be corrected. The motion test also helped her understand how the lighting appeared on the digital camera and interacted with the building. She will work toward creating a stronger contrast and clear lighting for the final renders. Check out the pictures below as examples of this work.

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is imitating eco-success 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 reviewed the latest Duplicable City Center SketchUp file for accuracy and updated the first and second floors of the Social Dome by moving and reshaping furniture to fit between the doors on the first floor. On the second floor, we moved the door and window away from the conflicting column. We also moved/placed washers in the Laundry Room in the correct location and, in the Dining Dome, removed an extra column, moved the kitchen appliances that conflicted with supporting columns, shifted shelves and tables close to the wall, and removed/moved the compass mosaic from the kitchen to the correct location outside. See below.

The core team also continued working with a new member of the team on what’s needed for the complete Duplicable City Center cabinetry. This week involved familiarization with the SketchUp software, then careful study of the SketchUp model of the Duplicable City Center, then creating a WBS separated by functional area of all the item that require design based on the AutoCad model, the SketchUp model, and the Community website. Last was researching standards for the design of the items from the WBS. See related pictures below.

Jieying “Mercy” Cai (Sustainability and Climate Policy Researcher) completed her 25th week volunteering, now focused on the City Center Eco-spa designs. This week Mercy 1) found Youtube videos for each “How to apply” section for readers’ reference, 2) wrote brief introductions for sanitization and oxidation sections, 3) expanded research on ozonator and reevaluated its effectiveness, 4) added advantages & disadvantages, a “How to apply” section, and a recommended product to non-chlorine shocks and enzyme-based treatment. See below for some pictures related to this work.

Ranran Zhang (Architectural Designer) completed her 13th week working on the updated video for the Duplicable City Center internal and external walkthrough. This week, Ranran emailed Tatyana to update the latest model. She kept working on modifying some areas in the SketchUp model according to Tatyana’s comments. She fixed the blocked door on the right side of the inside pool, on the first floor of the Social Dome. She also cleared an extra wall inside the Social dome, first floor on the right side of the pool between two doors. In addition, Ranran updated the Lumion file according to modified parts and selected three views that needed to be rendered. These three rendering views are in front of the main door, garden, and water tower. See below for some pictures of this work.

Julio E. Marin Bustillos (Mechanical Engineer) completed his 4th week helping with the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering. This week, Julio finalized the modified (One Community) geodesic dome using SolidWorks and Inventor. The modified dome is different from the traditional because each row of triangles are of equal vertical height. He also performed an FEA analysis for the traditional dome. Pictures of some of this work are below.

Yiwei He (Mechanical Engineer) joined the team and completed her 1st week helping with the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering. This week, Yiwei researched how to complete a finite element analysis of dome structures, such as those in the Duplicable City Center, and also started modeling the most recent model in Solidworks. Yiwei also started to organize the solar content report on choosing solar hardware. Pictures of some of this work are below.

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is imitating eco-success 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 week the core team also worked more one the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan. This week we began the week working on the Master Recipe and adding DIY recipes to the Ingredient List. We were also working on the Master Shopping list to ensure everything was linked and calculating correctly. While working on the Master Shopping list, we noticed the website links and costs in the Master Food Costs were misaligned and/or incorrect. Once we noticed the issue with the Master Food Costs, we began working on that so the costs were correct. See below for pictures related to this.

Rebecca Miller (Chef) completed her 5th week helping with the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan. This week, Rebecca continued her work on editing recipes. Rebecca added metric measurements and continued editing instructions as necessary. Rebecca updated instructions to better reflect the available ingredients and for ease of cooking once the recipes have been scaled to larger portions. Rebecca is about halfway done editing recipes, and she will continue this work next week. See below for some pictures related to this.

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is imitating eco-success 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. This component of One Community is about 95% complete with only the Open Source School Licensing and Ultimate Classroom construction and assembly details remaining to be finished. We’ll report on the final two elements to be finished as we develop them.

HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is imitating eco-success 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 week the core team completed 23 hours managing One Community volunteer-work review not included above, emails, social media accounts, web development, new bug identification and bug fix integration for the Highest Good Network software, and interviewing and getting set up new volunteer team members. Pictures below show some of this.

Yiyun Tan (Management Dashboard Team Leader) completed her 45th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Yiyun was working on the depenababots PRs clean up, she left the three build error PRs due to Nithesh’s guide. She also finished the rework on her “people report pie chart updates” PR. Then Yiyun took over the urgent bug #1, “add a new tab on weekly summaries”. Other than that, she helped the team on Slack, problem solving as usual. Pictures of some of this work are below.

Yan Xu (Software Development Engineer) completed her 31st week helping with the Highest Good Network software. For this week, Yan worked on refining her code. So far, the front-end framework of this new web page and the back-end controller, router, model, and database have been roughly built, but the code is not clean and concise. She also created a document about how to work with our email sender code and shared it with Nyah and Aishwarya. See pictures below for some of this work.

Alan Lee Sing Chan Yau (Software Engineer) completed his 18th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Alan started by working on resolving issues in past PRs. He started working on the “mark task done PR”, and by the end of the week he was able to fix the issues and the PR was merged into the development branch. Then he worked on resolving issues on duplicate name popup PR, and it hasn’t been merged because of some problems in the form, and it was not accepting some phone numbers where they had less than 10 digits. Alan fixed that and hopefully it can be reviewed again soon. He then worked on the “subfolder tasks not displaying” fix. Alan was able to solve the main problem when closing the mother folder and then reopening it, but there is still the issue where the edit still shows after closing the folder when clicking to edit a subtask or folder. Pictures below show some of this work.

Kaixiang “Kevin” Gu (Fullstack Software Developer) completed his 18th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Kaixiang made some user experience improvements on the 24/48/72 hours button. For now, the button that is selected will show a gray border around the button, this tells the user which one is selected right now. He also spent a couple of hours on reviewing PR#690, this one works for every other developer but does not work for him, so he did some tests and debugging and found a possible issue that might cause this problem. Pictures below show some of this work.

Jianjun Luo (Software Engineer) completed her 15th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Jianjun has found a new function for the member table of the project report page. She found that the data stored in the fetched url cannot fulfill the requirement. It could cause unwanted trouble to modify the backend data structure so she managed to get the required information with changes only made to the frontend. Now the report page will only display its active members but keep records of both active and the all-time member count. Pictures below show some of this work.

Rajasri “RJ” Janaki Raman (React/MongoDB Full-stack Developer) completed her 14th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week RJ worked on final testing and raised the PR for performance optimization after final bug fixing. She also made an analysis doc, had a call with Anant, worked on 1 review point which wasn’t caused by her PR, and reviewed Alan’s duplicate user name PR and added comments and test cases for others to test. Pictures below show some of this work.

Johny dos Santos Anastacio (Software Engineer) completed his 13th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. Johny completed 2 items of the task “Make the subtasks in a WBS create a new folder”, he chose to split the task in two, now he is working on a way to show all the tasks in the same folder, the first part of the task has been resolved and the PR has already been reviewed and merged, now Johny is doing his best to finish the last item of this task. Pictures below show some of this work.

Aishwarya Kalkundrikar (Full Stack Software Developer) completed her 11th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Aishwarya started working on an urgent priority bug with Johny. She tested many times and found that the issue was not reproducible. The issue occurred only with Jae’s account on his desktop, so it was parked as of now. Aishwarya then went through the videos and documents shared by RJ regarding the performance issues of the Dashboard, time log, and SummaryBar. Later she went through and commented on the PR raised by Alan #684 in which a few of the imports were removed. This review was requested by RJ. Now Aishwarya started working on a task where a new email functionality is to be added. She has gone through files where similar functionality is implemented and videos on nodemailer. Aishwarya also went through the document provided by Yan. Pictures below show some of this work.

Raul Effting. (Jr. Front-End Web Developer) completed his 9th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Raul continuously reviewed and approved PRs. Frontend PRs included: 688, 686, 684, 682 Backend PRs included: 283, 281. He also worked on the following functionalities: “When creating a new task, remove the need to click the dropdown to see the list of people, have list auto-populate instead as names are typed.” and “Connect the new reports frontend to the real data”. Check out the pictures below as examples of this work.

Rafael C Castro (Software Engineer) completed his 7th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Rafael reviewed some PR reviews, checked their related code, moved PRs to their final review and continued at developing the responsiveness adjustments for the WBS Task screen. PRs reviewed included PR#657, PR#285, PR#622, PR#654, PR#670, PR#687, PR#690, PR#692. Check out the pictures below as examples of this work.

Filipe Santos de Oliveira (Full Stack Developer) completed his 6th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. During this week, Filipe worked to update the task list state and render the updated list, he added the useState() hook in the TaskList tasks component and passed the setTasks function to the markAsDone function, which updates the task list state. The list can then be rendered using the JavaScript map() function to iterate over the updated tasks. He also added the useState() hook for the tasks list (taskList) and passed the setTaskList function to the markAsDone function. Then, he updated the TaskButton function to pass the markAsDone function as a prop. With these updates, the task list should re-render whenever the setTaskList function is called. But whenever he tried to adapt the scripts to the needs of the software he broke the code. The example above was one of several unsuccessful attempts he made. See below pictures as examples of this work.

Prabhjot Singh (Fullstack Software Engineer) also completed his 5th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Prabhjot submitted his First PR. This PR fixed the Mobile responsiveness of the tasks section. He found it a little bit difficult due to the HTML table, because he didn’t work that much with tables before. But After some research, Prabhjot was able to figure out a Good solution. He also resolved all conflicts and followed all guidelines to make a Good PR. See below pictures as examples of this work.

Akshay (Full Stack Developer) completed his 3rd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. Akshay began actively working on the HGN Software Development project. He reviewed and approved PR #687 and provided a suggestion to round off the hours. He also approved PR #689, which included performance optimizations for the Timelog, Summary Bar, and Leaderboard components. In addition, Akshay reviewed and approved fixes for PR #692 and PR #285, which addressed issues related to the Timelog page not loading and default role status for deleted roles, respectively. He also fixed an issue in the Leaderboard where NaN was being displayed instead of the total weekly hours. Apart from these tasks, Akshay also looked into some bugs in the HGN App documentation and reviewed the Reports front-end and back-end code. Pictures below are examples of this.

Jinchao Feng (Software Engineer) completed his 3rd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Jinchao fixed the bug ‘after creating a role and setting it to an user, if this role is deleted, the user role becomes Administrator by default’ and raised and followed up the PR, #285. He then worked on the bug: ‘updating a role of a user on the “Profile Page”‘ and reviewed the Redux document: Redux fundamentals. Pictures of some of this work are below.

Harlley Bastos (Full Stack Developer) completed his 2nd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Harlley started to develop the Timer Idle functionality. He tried many ways to handle this problem but the only way that works as hoped was to show a pop-up after 5 mins of inactivity of the user on the app. He’ll continue to search. The pictures below share some of this developing work.

The Highest Good Network software PR Review team also worked to test all of the above PRs and find any bugs they could within those PRs and the software as a whole. This week’s active members of this team and how many weeks they’ve been with us are as follows: Anant Sharma (Software Engineer) completed his 2nd week, Angelina Truong (Full Stack Software Developer) completed her 3rd week, Ayush Tripathi (Full Stack Developer) completed his 4th week, Crystal Song (Software Engineer) completed her 2nd week, Daniel Brice Kamghem Kom (Software Developer) completed his 3rd week, Jay Kang (Web Development Volunteer) completed his 2nd week, Kamto Tagne Eddy Richel (Full Stack Web Developer) completed his 3rd week, Lucas Emanuel Souza Silva (Software Developer) completed his 3rd week, Meenakshi Pavithran (Software Egineer) completed her 3rd week, Sav Costabile (Web Developer) completed his 3rd week, Tianjue Wang (Software Developer) completed her 5th week, Vitor Adriel (Software Engineer) completed his 3rd week, and Xinyu Jiang (Software Engineer) completed her 5th week.

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is establishing strategies for anthropocene epoch abundance 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 week the core team worked with the aircrete team to discuss the recipes to test this week based on repeated mistakes made during previous weeks, and she continued work on the electrical demand solar sizing writeup, specifically on the README tab. The same team member also interviewed Yiwei, onboarded Yiwei, and had a weekly meeting with the Compression Testing Team and City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering Team.

Julia Meaney (Researcher and Assistant to Executive Director) completed her 23rd week with the team. This week, Julia reviewed Chuck’s integration of her feedback for the “Sustainable Roadways, Walkways, and Landscaping” webpage from the Feedback PDF and the source Google Doc. She checked all of the image updates as well as various new content additions and while doing so, made necessary edits to coding, spacing, ToCs, and formats. Julia then completed her review of the “Best Small and Large-scale Community Options for Sustainable Processing & Reuse of Non-recyclables” live webpage, crossing off correctly integrated content on the source Google Doc. She made a Feedback PDF for Chuck to see her comments about his work and also made various small fixes and edits to the page as necessary. Also this week, Julia worked on the “Eco-laundry” webpage editing content and adding sections to incorporate necessary narrative that outlines One Community’s current and future research conclusions and plans. She then reviewed Mercy’s progress on the “Hot Tub Sanitizer Alternatives” Google Doc, addressing, resolving, and adding comments as needed. Finally, Julia checked on the “Master Recipe and 3-Day Menu Blocks Doc” measurement conversions and fixed grammatical issues as needed. See pictures below.

Charles Gooley (Web Designer) also completed his 22nd week helping with web design, now focused on the Best Small and Large-scale Community Options for Sustainable Processing & Reuse of Non-recyclables page. This week’s focus was more of migrating content from the Google Doc to the tutorial. He added a ToC and scanned the tutorial making corrections, and submitted the document to Julia for review. Charles then worked on Julia’s comments on the “Sustainable Roadways, Walkways, and Landscaping” webpage. Most of the comments involved cropping off the titles from images and putting the titles in the caption. He completed all the comments and submitted them for review. Pictures below are related to this work.

The Compression Team consisting of Genesis Avila (Engineering Intern Researcher), Fatima Duenas-Esparza (Engineering Intern Researcher), and Sarah-Jean Boyd (Engineering Intern Researcher) completed their 16th weeks helping with the Aircrete and earthbag compression testing. This week the Compression Testing Team made three batches of aircrete. The first batch was a control batch using Drexel as the foaming agent. The second and third batches were the same as the first batch with one variable change – instead of using Drexel, 7th Gen was used as the foaming agent. Two batches were made of the 7th Gen, because one batch was made incorrectly so the testing was repeated the correct way. Pictures below are related to this work.

Loza Ayehutsega (Civil Engineer/Assistant Civil Engineer) completed her 9th week helping review the Net-zero Bathroom and Earthbag Village water collection and storage engineering calculations and designs. This week Loza reviewed rainwater harvesting systems for the report document. This topic was not completed, however there are several topics mentioned in this part, so some additional points were added to the literature review. In addition, the drainage section design was also reviewed. See below for some pictures related to this.

Vidhi Bansal (3D Visualization Artist) completed her 5th week helping with video and AutoCAD renders for a 4-dome cluster Earthbag Village housing design. This week Vidhi started to work on plinths and human silhouettes to populate the render. However she encountered multiple technical glitches with the foliage flickering and going in and out of view. Trouble shooting this glitch also resulted in some of the work on the plinth and humans being lost, but this can be easily recovered in the upcoming week within a couple of hours. Check out the pictures below as examples of this work.

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is establishing strategies for anthropocene epoch abundance 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 reviewed the latest Duplicable City Center SketchUp file for accuracy after the last design update and created a list of comments with supporting images for items that need to be fixed.

The core team also began working with a new member of the team on what’s needed for the complete Duplicable City Center cabinetry. This research was broken down into 3 phases. First was a review of all the information and documentation available on the One Community website. Second was familiarization with the software used on the project, software such as Solidworks and SketchUp. Third was a careful study of the Duplicable City Center master plan. See below.

Jieying “Mercy” Cai (Sustainability and Climate Policy Researcher) completed her 24th week volunteering, now focused on the City Center Eco-spa designs. This week Mercy worked on addressing Julia’s comments on the Hot Tub Sanitizer Task. She researched and added 1) the working principles, advantages, and disadvantages of ionizers, 2) the mechanisms and examples of non-chlorine shocks, and 3) the mechanisms, functions, and suggested dosages of enzyme-based treatments. She also redid the research on the ozonator to see if it is a suitable alternative. See below for some pictures related to this work.

Ranran Zhang (Architectural Designer) completed her 12th week working on the updated video for the Duplicable City Center internal and external walkthrough. This week, Ranran communicated with Tatyana to double-check the latest model. Ranran modified some areas in the SketchUp model according to Tatyana’s comments. She cleared the box structure over the basement drive-in entrance. She moved the Chicken Coop to the east for 3’ because it is too close to the fence. Ranran also adjusted the position of the column, which interferes with the new exit door on the second floor of the social dome. In addition, she added figures for two views and rendered them. These two rendering views are located in the restaurant and swimming and recreation area. See below for some pictures of this work.

Julio E. Marin Bustillos (Mechanical Engineer) completed his 3rd week helping with the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering. This week, Julio worked on the final design for the traditional geodesic dome. He used the frame tool to add the beams to the structure. A new design for the beams had to be added to comply with the dimensions required for the dome and added to the library. He also performed an FEA analysis. Pictures of some of this work are below.

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is establishing strategies for anthropocene epoch abundance 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 week the core team worked on updates for the Rabbits webpage. We added a new Rabbit Meat section and updated the Rabbit Shelter Needs section with a short description and link to our open source plans of rabbit hutch and rabbit tractor cost analysis estimates and materials lists. See pictures below.

The core team also worked more one the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan. This week’s focus was on the Master Recipe Template, importing information from the Master Recipe and 3-Day Menu Doc for the DIY recipes. We also linked cells within the Master Recipe Template for calculations within the spreadsheet and created new rows and cells to do this. All links within the spreadsheet are now correct for the added DIY recipes. See below for pictures related to this.

Rebecca Miller (Chef) completed her 4th week helping with the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan. This week, Rebecca continued editing recipes. She added metric measurements and updated instructions as needed. Rebecca has also been updating ingredient amounts to reflect appropriate portions. This week, Rebecca took some time to correct and answer questions and edits previous chefs left comments about too. See below for some pictures related to this.

HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is establishing strategies for anthropocene epoch abundance 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 week the core team completed 24 hours managing One Community volunteer-work review not included above, emails, social media accounts, web development, new bug identification and bug fix integration for the Highest Good Network software, and interviewing and getting set up new volunteer team members. Pictures below show some of this.

Yiyun Tan (Management Dashboard Team Leader) completed her 44th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Yiyun focused on the PRs cleanup. She tested and approved a few dependabot backend and frontend PRs, created a tutorial about how to resolve merge conflicts on release PRs, and completed the people report pie chart bug which was worked on by Shaun before. Other than that, she helped the team on Slack, resolved PRs, and helped approve document updates as usual. Pictures of some of this work are below.

Yan Xu (Software Development Engineer) completed her 30th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. Yan this week created the get and post function for the summary management. Now it is possible to write the name for the summary group and pass the data to the database, and after refreshing the page, it is possible to return to the summary group page. See pictures below for some of this work.

Alan Lee Sing Chan Yau (Software Engineer) completed his 17th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Alan started by working on the “mark task as done” new feature. The new feature was working well, he just had to test it out and clean the code a bit before making a pull request. In the process, Alan found out that not all tasks were showing the new check icon. This is because the check was only visible where taskNotification.length > 0, and that was the same for the bell. But now it shows up in every task under the Tasks tab in the Timelog and Tasks component. The PR looks good now, and hopefully it can be merged soon. Then Alan reviewed some feedback on his PopUpBar and Timelog PR about a small change in the css. He agreed that the feedback was good, and proceeded to make the changes. Right now the PR is approved and hopefully it can be merged soon. Lastly he focused on working on the subtask bug where the subtasks’ tasks were not showing correctly when opening and closing folders. Pictures below show some of this work.

Kaixiang “Kevin” Gu (Fullstack Software Developer) completed his 17th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Kaixiang focused on working with the 24/48/72 hours buttons. He addressed a responsiveness issue of the button group, made them align vertically in small screens, fixed the hide timelogs button, and made the button so it will be hidden by default. When the user fetches timelogs the button will show up, and switch to show timelogs button after being clicked. He also fixed the bug that made the red bell icon not work and found a new bug when he was working on it and reported it as a new bug on Google Docs. Pictures below show some of this work.

Jianjun Luo (Software Engineer) completed her 14th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Jianjun has fixed the bug from the WBS task page that it can not reload the tasks properly after deleting one task. She has made the page refresh automatically after deleting and renamed the functions in order to improve the readability of the code and avoid possible errors. She also started looking into a new task for the reports page. Pictures below show some of this work.

Rajasri “RJ” Janaki Raman (React/MongoDB Full-stack Developer) completed her 13th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week RJ worked on performance optimization. She merged development branch changes, cleaned up the Timelog page by removing processing statements that are part of return statement to separate method which can be called on a component to load and update, fixed “toggleSummaryButton” working in timelog and dashboard page so that the “Owner” role user can submit summary for other users if needed, and created walkthrough videos on changes and open pain points. Pictures below show some of this work.

Johny dos Santos Anastacio (Software Engineer) completed his 12th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Johny created the PR for the task “Make it so subtasks on WBS create a folder”, the reviewers asked for some changes, Johny made the changes and then the PR was tested and approved. Johny worked in the Priority Bug number 1 too, he debugged the backend and he found a clue that can solve the problem, he is chatting with other developers to see a better way to solve this bug. Pictures below show some of this work.

Aishwarya Kalkundrikar (Full Stack Software Developer) completed her 10th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Aishwarya solved the bug of making the total remaining hours calculate correctly for users, did thorough testing for different cases and users, and raised PR #685 for the same. She will cover the change to be done in the database as a different task. Pictures below show some of this work.

Raul Effting. (Jr. Front-End Web Developer) completed his 8th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Raul continuously reviewed and approved PRs. Frontend PRs included: 686, 685, 681, 665, 657, and 593. Backend PRs included: 272. He also worked on the following functionality: “(PRIORITY LOW) Jae: Add to top of app a section that the “Owner” class (only) can edit to post a message to all users of the app like, “Happy Holidays”. The functionality is done, however, he is going to meet Pedro to figure out how to display the message on small screens. Also, Harlley Bastos and Crystal Song were mentored. Check out the pictures below as examples of this work.

Rafael C Castro (Software Engineer) completed his 6th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Rafael performed PR reviews, checked their related code, followed up on those with new developments, worked to complete unfinished PR (PR#686) and progressed at developing responsiveness adjustments. The reviewed PRs were PR#677, PR#670, PR#665, PR#652, PR#595, PR#535, PR#281. Check out the pictures below as examples of this work.

Filipe Santos de Oliveira (Full Stack Developer) completed his 5th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. During the last week Filipe worked to implement the function of deleting tasks and a functionality of the WBS that was not working. He sent a message to Yiyun explaining the situation of the time that this PR was out of date and she confirmed that he needed to open a new PR. That message from Yiyun arrived just after Filipe had already worked on the branch conflicts. The software was still running before resolving the conflicts but after that the software stopped working as expected, freezing the entire main page after a few seconds. He’ll continue to problem solve this. See below pictures as examples of this work.

Akshay (Full Stack Developer) joined the team and completed his 2nd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. Akshay tested and reviewed various PRs for the HGN Software Development project. He tested PRs #672, #684, #685, #635, #686, #680, #283, #681, and #682. In his comments, Akshay provides detailed information on the testing he performed and the results he obtained for each of the PRs. He mentioned that PR #672 and PR #684 both worked as expected and that he confirmed that the new features added by these PRs were functional. He also approved PR #681 and noted that the username now shows up after logging in without the need to refresh the page. While testing PR #635, Akshay performed several tests and confirmed that the changes made in the code allow for the calculation of total remaining hours based on every task while keeping the estimated hours and logged-in hours for each task intact. Akshay also encountered an issue while testing PR #682. He found that when removing a sub-task, both the removed task and the remaining task were removed from the list, indicating a bug. He also reviewed the codebase and read the “HGN Phase I Bugs and Needed Functionalities” Google document. Pictures below are examples of this.

The Highest Good Network software PR Review team also worked to test all of the above PRs and find any bugs they could within those PRs and the software as a whole. This week’s active members of this team and how many weeks they’ve been with us are as follows: Anant Sharma (Software Engineer) completed his 1st week, Angelina Truong (Full Stack Software Developer) completed her 2nd week, Anish Pandita (Software Engineer) completed his 5th week, Ayush Tripathi (Full Stack Developer) completed his 3rd week, Crystal Song (Software Engineer) completed her 1st week, Daniel Brice Kamghem Kom (Software Developer) completed his 2nd week, Harlley Bastos (Full Stack Developer) completed his 1st week, Kamto Tagne Eddy Richel (Full Stack Web Developer) completed his 2nd week, Jailson Sanches (Software Developer) completed his 2nd week, Jay Kang (Web Development Volunteer) completed his 1st week, Jinchao Feng (Software Engineer) completed his 2nd week, Lucas Emanuel Souza Silva (Software Developer) completed his 2nd week, Meenakshi Pavithran (Software Egineer) completed her 2nd week, Sav Costabile (Web Developer) completed his 2nd week, Tianjue Wang (Software Developer) completed her 4th week, Vanel Nwaba (Software Developer) completed his 2nd week, Vitor Adriel (Software Engineer) completed his 2nd week, and Xinyu Jiang (Software Engineer) completed her 4th week.

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is developing teacher permaculture hubs 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 week the core team edited the data collection sheet for the aircrete team and created a test plan for the week. We had a team meeting with both the Compression Testing team and the City Center Dome team to discuss the overall plan and plan details and also organized files for city center dome work. Pictures below are related to this work.

The core team also continued working with “Murphy Bed Assembly Instructions” document. We resolved comments where feedback had been integrated, generated requested images for different sections of the Murphy bed, and provided detailed explanations with supportive images for some of the comments.

Stacey Maillet (Graphic Designer) completed her 88th week working on the final edits and revisions to the Murphy bed instructions. This week Stacey continued to resolve many of the comments received on the Murphy bed instructions. The individual files for each section are being separated and saved with the correct section name and all the pages within the files are being renamed. Since we have finalized the pages and page orders, each page will be named with the section name, page number and page name so that the JPG file for each page will be properly labeled once exported. When complete, we’ll post all the individual pages as separate JPG files in addition to the PDF. There are many comments relating to adjusting graphic elements and also the placement and cutting of wood. We’re trying to make changes consistently across all areas. Screenshots below relate to this work.

Julia Meaney (Researcher and Assistant to Executive Director) completed her 22nd week with the team. This week, Julia checked on the Murphy bed Instructions” PDF, resolving and addressing comments as needed. She then took a look at the “Addressing Non-recyclables” Google Doc and reviewed the last added content as well as the final format. Julia worked on the “Door and Window Research” Google Doc to review recent work and edits and also edited the “BEST DOOR Companies” tab of the “Sustainable Window and Door Research” Spreadsheet to make it more visually effective. Also this week, she added new screenshots of the updated “Chickens” tab of the “P1c – Food Infrastructure Comprehensive Cost Analysis” Spreadsheet to the “Chicken” Google Doc. She then backed up all of the missing items from the Resources section of this webpage as PDF documents to her Dropbox folder. She then checked progress on other tasks such as the “Hot Tub Sanitizer Alternatives” Google Doc and the “Sustainable Roadways, Walkways, and Landscaping” webpage. Finally, Julia worked on finishing the “Eco-laundry” webpage. She re-wrote sections as well as adding new sections to the page and rearranging and editing content to make sense with the overall narrative. While doing this, she made corrections to ToC formats, links, and various other coding issues. Julia reviewed the entirety of the page and evaluated the research to clarify the final washing machine decision. She made notes of this on her OC Google Doc and relayed her thoughts about bringing on researchers for updating this research and finding currently available models. See pictures below.

Charles Gooley (Web Designer) also completed his 21st week helping with web design, now focused on the Best Small and Large-scale Community Options for Sustainable Processing & Reuse of Non-recyclables page. Charles spent the week migrating content from the Google Doc to the tutorial. This included sections on what are non-recyclables, why open source strategies for disposing of non-recyclables, sustainably disposing of non-recyclables, non-recyclables management options with some existing plant examples, non-recyclable recycling options with existing plant examples, sustainability emissions and cost reductions, one community’s plan for addressing non-recyclables, conclusion, resources and the FAQ. Pictures below are related to this work.

The Compression Team consisting of Genesis Avila (Engineering Intern Researcher), Fatima Duenas-Esparza (Engineering Intern Researcher), and Sarah-Jean Boyd (Engineering Intern Researcher) completed their 15th weeks helping with the Aircrete and earthbag compression testing. This week the Compression Testing team focused on reproducing last week’s batches. Two batches of aircrete were made. One was with Drexel and the other with 7th Gen. Both had the foam directly inserted while mixing was taking place. This time to measure how much foam was used, the bucket with our foam solution was weighed before adding any to the aircrete batch and after we had finished adding aircrete to the batch. Pictures below are related to this work.

Loza Ayehutsega (Civil Engineer/Assistant Civil Engineer) completed her 8th week helping review the Net-zero Bathroom and Earthbag Village water collection and storage engineering calculations and designs. This week Loza reviewed septic tank design calculations from the spreadsheet. This part is not yet very well described and the section is not selected according to the design. She added literature review screenshot to the dropbox showing insights into how to select the septic tank dimensions for residential buildings from existing standards. See below for some pictures related to this.

Vidhi Bansal (3D Visualization Artist) completed her 4th week helping with video and AutoCAD renders for a 4-dome cluster Earthbag Village housing design. This week Vidhi worked on multiple landscape iterations, and created one from scratch for the 4-dome flyover and walkthrough project. The week was spent on sculpting the landscape and adding foliage, as well as sourcing foliage assets similar to the reference.This is still a work in progress as texturing is being done from scratch to match that of the images shown. The next step will be to match the ground coloring to that of the references. Trees have been sourced to match references as well. Check out the pictures below as examples of this work.

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is developing teacher permaculture hubs 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, Gabriela Vilela S. C. Diniz (Architect and Urban Planner) completed her 34th week working on the interior design for the Duplicable City Center rental rooms. This week, Gabriela worked on checking the cost analysis table and filling the sizes, quantities and other information that was missing. She also drew the TV box that will be on the ceiling and added it to the presentation. Then she submitted everything for final review. Pictures below show some of this work.

Jieying “Mercy” Cai (Sustainability and Climate Policy Researcher) completed her 23rd week volunteering, now focused on the City Center Eco-spa designs. This week Mercy researched and wrote on the sustainability of biguanide (in comparison to chlorine and bromine), and the mechanisms, functions, and effectiveness of UV water purifiers and ionizers. She also looked for supplementary products to improve the effectiveness of biguanides. See below for some pictures related to this work.

Ranran Zhang (Architectural Designer) completed her 11th week working on the updated video for the Duplicable City Center internal and external walkthrough. This week, Ranran modified the SketchUp model mentioned in last week’s feedback. For the material of the restaurant wall, she fixed the textures to match the interior design plan and the previous renders. Ranran also updated the Lumion file according to the modified parts and selected two views that needed to be rendered. These views are located on the first floor of the recreation area. For the problem of the exterior elevator, she made a note of this storage room on AutoCAD for subsequent revisions. See below for some pictures of this work.

Julio E. Marin Bustillos (Mechanical Engineer) completed his 2nd week helping with the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering. This week Julio worked on CAD models on Inventor for a traditional and a modified dome with the same measurements used for the City Center Domes and he worked on a Google sheets document to calculate the weight of every metal component used in both domes to have a better understanding of how much load each node will carry and to perform load analyses. Pictures of some of this work are below.

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is developing teacher permaculture hubs 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 week the core team worked on updates for the Rabbits and Chickens webpages. We reviewed the latest added updates on the Chickens webpage and worked on updates for the Shelter section for the Rabbits webpage. We added more information about colonies and general guidelines for shelters. See pictures below.

The core team also began final testing and work on the menus for the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan. We created a “Test Copy of Master Recipe to Duplicate” in order to run a test on the calculations. Michael imported data from the Master Recipe and 3-Day Menu Blocks Doc for Fresh Week A. The data imported included the instructions for recipes, quantity and measurements for ingredients, as well as alternatives to the recipe for omnivore, vegan, and vegetarian diets.

HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is developing teacher permaculture hubs 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 week the core team completed 29 hours managing One Community volunteer-work review not included above, emails, social media accounts, web development, new bug identification and bug fix integration for the Highest Good Network software, and interviewing and getting set up new volunteer team members. Pictures below show some of this.

The core team also invested significant time (about 6 hours) into migrating our website to a new dedicated server that should radically improve the experience of our visitors. Pictures below relate to this.

Yiyun Tan (Management Dashboard Team Leader) completed her 43rd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Yiyun worked on the PRs clean up process. She tested and approved a few dependabot backend and frontend PRs. She also did research on the remaining dependabot PRs build errors and will resolve and test them next week. Additionally, Yiyun helped the team on Slack, with PR reviews, problem solving, and document updates as usual. Pictures of some of this work are below.

Yan Xu (Software Development Engineer) completed her 29th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Yan continued working on the add function for the summary management page. For the front end, she created an action endpoint (router) to “create a new summary group button” for the back end, she made a controller, router, and model for the “create a new summary group button.” Although it is extensive code work, it still does not work yet; every time after clicking create a new summary group button, it consoles the log post error in the browser. Yan still needs time to debug. Also, she improved the code for the summary management page. She divided the page into small components like table header, table body, and summary overview, instead of all the code written in the one page. Yan then put it into a server file and imported it to the summary management page. The aim of this action is to make it easier to maintain in the future. See pictures below for some of this work.

Alan Lee Sing Chan Yau (Software Engineer) completed his 16th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Alan started by working on fixing ongoing problems in his previous PRs. One of the PRs he worked on was the change from”Classification” to “Category” PR, and Alan created a more clear way to see which items are tasks and which are subcategories. He also replied to some feedback on the duplicate name PR, and it was approved by three different reviewers so hopefully it can be merged soon. Alan also worked on the View weekly summaries button PR, since it was requested to make the button smaller. Alan updated the PR, and got some feedback about some small problems. Lastly, Alan worked on the user management dashboard new feature to mark a task as completed on the dashboard. Alan was able to mark tasks as done from the dashboard with the new code he wrote. He will test it further and create a PR if it all works well. Pictures below show some of this work.

Kaixiang “Kevin” Gu (Fullstack Software Developer) completed his 16th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Kaixiang completed the 24/48/72 hours button features. The time logs can be displayed correctly when clicking each button. He made a new pull request for other people to review. Kaixiang also spent a couple of hours debugging priority urgent bug #1, but even though he found the task that is not updating he still cannot figure out what is causing this bug. Pictures below show some of this work.

Jianjun Luo (Software Engineer) completed her 13th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Jianjun fixed a high priority bug for the header when the user first signs in. She located the cause of the problem and made a simple change to the code to fix the bug. She studied if the fix is helpful to another loading bug and also corrected the text mistake of a previous update. Pictures below show some of this work.

Rajasri “RJ” Janaki Raman (React/MongoDB Full-stack Developer) completed her 12th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, RJ worked on optimizing dashboard and timelog data load. She successfully reduced the 18 time leader board data setting to 1 time, removed console log statements, and added a scroll bar on overflow to badges section in the dashboard. She also assisted a few volunteers on Slack for an environment issue. She additionally sanity tested all the code changes. Since it is such a major change, it needs further deep testing. Pictures below show some of this work.

Johny dos Santos Anastacio (Software Engineer) completed his 11th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. Johny this week worked in the list of urgent priority bugs but he was not able to find what is generating the bugs. Johny solved the bug #3 from the badge bug list “100 hour badge is not being assigned”, he already created the PR and is waiting for review and working on his other task from the Project/Task bug list number #5 “Creating sub-tasks in a WBS doesn’t create a new folder and makes the tasks uneditable”, as soon as possible he will send the PR for review. Pictures below show some of this work.

Aishwarya Kalkundrikar (Full Stack Software Developer) completed her 9th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. Aishwarya worked on setup and installation to access the database this week. She struggled to access the database, but finally, Yiyun helped her and she was able to read the data from the database. Aishwarya found a solution to calculate the total remaining hours for the users by keeping the estimated and logged in hours intact. She needs to do some more testing before she raises a PR for the solution. Also, she found that in many previously removed tasks, a common thing is that the field ‘completedTask’ is marked ‘true’. This can help in making the total remaining hours of previously deleted tasks 0 from the database side. Pictures below show some of this work.

Raul Effting (Jr. Front-End Web Developer) completed his 7th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Raul continuously reviewed and approved PRs. Frontend PRs included: 665, 671, and 632. Backend PRs included: 276. He also worked on Pedro Elton’s PR 672, helping him to connect his changes to the backend data. Raul is still working on the following functionality: “(PRIORITY LOW) Jae: Add to top of app a section that the “Owner” class (only) can edit to post a message to all users of the app like, “Happy Holidays”. The text message function is already working, however, the image message function is still being developed. Also, Meenakshi Pavithran, Vitor Adriel, Angelina Truong, Akshay, Daniel Brice, Kamghem Kom, Vanel Nwaba, and Jinchao Feng were contacted. Some of them were helped. A 9 minutes video teaching how to set up the application environment was created as well. Check out the pictures below as examples of this work.

Rafael C Castro (Software Engineer) completed his 5th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Rafael performed PR reviews, checked their related code, followed up on those with new developments, worked to complete an unfinished PR and started a responsiveness adjustment. The reviewed PRs were PR#281, PR#535, PR#652, PR#665, PR#670, PR#677. Check out the pictures below as examples of this work.

Filipe Santos de Oliveira (Full Stack Developer) completed his 4th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. On 02/14, Filipe found that first and last name popups are in inverted fields in ‘validate input at forgot password page #677’. On 02/15, Filipe reviewed ‘aixiang-fix-make-intangible-hours-editable #267’. The total tangible hours was zero after Filipe saved the intangible/tangible time. After he edited the time from 24h to 19h he returned to the user profile and noticed that tangible time was negative. Filipe asked Kevin to let him know if this negative tangible time is part of his PR or not. On 02/17, he started to work with ‘Task dashboard #558’. He was working to solve the issue related to the WBS task action menu that was removed and that function is not working. On 02/18, the WBS task action menu that was removed and the function was stopped returned to working again. After Filipe identified that the controllerRow function was responsible for that action, he copied the same part of the ‘Fix timelog #535’ script from PR #535 and pasted these lines in the ‘Task dashboard #558’. See below pictures as examples of this work.

Anish Pandita (Software Engineer) completed his 4th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Anish continued his work on reviewing some older PRs along with deep diving the code base and studying the flow of code in the HighestGoodNetworkApp Repository. Some of the PRs reviewed were #535, #661, #658, #659, #656, #647. Some of the features tackled were checking the default view for admin/volunteer role according to permissions and validating whether the blue square addition functionality is available only to an administrator/owner role and not volunteer. Also the loading symbol was introduced to avoid the glitching data rendering so that it’s better for the user. The profile opening on the new tab using the Command + click or control + click in user management was verified too. Lastly, some minor spelling mistakes were verified and the check on calculation of the number of blue boxes shown in the dashboard summary bar was also tested. See pictures below as examples of this work.

Prabhjot Singh (Fullstack Software Engineer) also completed his 4th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This last week, Prabhjot did 25 reviews + follow-ups. He has reviewed and checked all PRs and old PRs too. See below pictures as examples of this work.

Tianjue Wang (Software Developer) completed her 3rd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Tianjue worked on reviewing PRs by checking the code, adding comments, etc. By reviewing #535, #593, #620, #652, #677, #546 and reading comments, she learned how to communicate more effectively with her colleagues. Also, she spent some time reviewing some prio PRs and made some adjustments and updates. See below pictures as examples of this work.

Xinyu Jiang (Software Engineer) completed her 3rd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Xinyu spent most of her time reviewing PRs and learning React. For the PRs, Xinyu followed up with all the PRs she previously reviewed every day and synced offline with colleagues requesting the PR when it was needed. She also found some compiling issues when she tried to review the PR from the backend and finally solved it with research. Apart from that, Xinyu made efforts to learn more about React, because she wants to be prepared for the following debugging stage. PRs reviewed were: 593, 639, 641, 677, 681. See the images below as examples of this work.

Ayush Tripathi (Full Stack Developer) completed his 2nd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. During the second week, Ayush took on the task of reviewing PR requests while also dedicating time to reading. In this process, Ayush reviewed request numbers #654, #665, and #672. Regarding PR #665, Ayush provided valuable feedback on coding standards that could be implemented in the future, such as creating a constants file for storing labels. Ultimately, he passed the PR from his end. For PR #654, Ayush not only reiterated previous comments but also provided additional input on issues such as red-colored dots and delays in the Project/Tasks data. In PR #672, he thoroughly examined the code and identified six issues that needed attention, including font family and font weight, formulae, duplicate records, and validation checks on date. Ayush also offered some helpful UI/UX suggestions to further enhance the user experience. See below pictures as examples of this work.

Akshay (Full Stack Developer) joined the team and completed his 1st week helping with the Highest Good Network software. Akshay successfully completed all items on the General Onboarding Checklist and the Specific Onboarding Checklist. In addition, he worked on several pull requests, including PR #657, PR #665, PR #574, and PR #639 for the HighestGoodNetworkApp repository, as well as PR #272 for the HGNRest repository. Akshay has also taken the initiative to explore the application to gain a better understanding of its functionality and architecture. Pictures below are examples of this.

Angelina Truong (Full Stack Software Developer) joined the team and completed her 1st week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Angelina started on her orientation and set up her application locally. She reviewed the following PRs: 272, 657, 276, 671, 654, 672 and tested the features to make sure that they are running as expected.

- - 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 week the core team detailed further experiments with aircrete, which included a repeat of the previous week using Drexel and using Seventh Generation dish soap while injecting the foam directly into the cement-water slurry. The same team member also had 2 meetings to detail tasks related to the City Center Dome structural analysis, and made progress on the solar energy required estimates. Pictures below are related to this work.

The core team also worked with a new team member who got set up and then read through the HGH Phase II: Material, Equipment, Tool and project tracking system document, wrote up his thoughts as a set of notes, and then added these notes as comments to the document. See below.

The Compression Team consisting of Genesis Avila (Engineering Intern Researcher), Fatima Duenas-Esparza (Engineering Intern Researcher), and Sarah-Jean Boyd (Engineering Intern Researcher) completed their 14th weeks helping with the Aircrete and earthbag compression testing. This week the Compression Testing Team made two different aircrete mixes – both batches were made with hard water but one consisted of Drexel foaming agent and the other 7th generation dish soap. The Team also continued to complete a data summary sheet to make various efforts more easily comparable. Pictures below are related to this work.

Loza Ayehutsega (Civil Engineer/Assistant Civil Engineer) completed her 7th week helping review the Net-zero Bathroom and Earthbag Village water collection and storage engineering calculations and designs. This week Loza reviewed the report document and spreadsheet, and presented the Roof design for residential buildings in the drop box.

For the City Center Eco-spa designs, she also did extensive research on the health and environmental impacts of chlorine, bromine, and biguanides, and added explanation paragraphs to the hot tub sanitizer alternatives tutorial. See below for some pictures related to this work.

Ranran Zhang (Architectural Designer) completed her 10th week working on the updated video for the Duplicable City Center internal and external walkthrough. This week, Ranran modified the SketchUp model mentioned in last week’s feedback. For the exterior elevators, Ranran added two walls on the outside of the exterior elevators and two windows for light. After discussion, Ranran also added a control room for the exterior elevators. In addition, she modified the material of the glasses in the yoga room. She also updated the Lumion file according to the modified parts and selected two views that needed to be rendered. These views are located on the first floor of the restaurant and the yoga room. See below for some pictures of this work.

Julio E. Marin Bustillos (Mechanical Engineer) joined the team and completed his 1st week helping with the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering. He read some background information about the City Center and existing design proposals for the hub connectors, as well as finishing the checklist from the Google Doc. Additionally, he wrote a short report about geodesic domes including the history, benefits, challenges, and science behind the structure. Julio also watched some tutorials on YouTube to get familiar with FreeCAD as well as exporting designs in a universal format so the designs can be viewed or edited in other software, such as Inventor and SolidWorks. Pictures of some of this work are below.

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is combining diverse eco-elements 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 week the core team worked on updates for the Rabbits webpage. We continued adding details to the Rabbit document for website updates. We researched different housing options for rabbits, added images and short descriptions for rabbit hutches, rabbit tractors and rabbits colonies, and updated the Resources section by adding links and short descriptions for videos related to rabbits processing and rabbits housing. See pictures below.

This week the core team completed 32 hours managing One Community volunteer-work review not included above, emails, social media accounts, web development, new bug identification and bug fix integration for the Highest Good Network software, and interviewing and getting set up new volunteer team members. Pictures below show some of this.

Yiyun Tan (Management Dashboard Team Leader) completed her 42nd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Yiyun worked on the urgent bugs 2/3/4. She discussed with a couple experienced members from the team, and got a clue that might be because of the abuse of useEffect(), she will collaborate with Johny and take a deeper look next week. Other than that, Yiyun helped the team on Slack, did some Management PR review, and problem solving as usual. Pictures of some of this work are below.

Alan Lee Sing Chan Yau (Software Engineer) completed his 15th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Alan’s plan was to fix his previous PRs bugs and conflicts, because most of the PRs he created before are urgent. He started off making some changes on the duplicate name fix PR, and left some comments. Then Alan worked on the PR about the time entry still showing after we marked it as deleted, and he was able to fix that and it got approved. Additionally, he worked on changing all the remaining variable names of classification on the app to “category”, and he also changed the way we represent subcategories on the WBS page, so it is more clear. Lastly, Alan worked resolving conflicts and errors he got on the PR about viewing your teammates summaries in the UserProfile page. Pictures below show some of this work.

Kaixiang “Kevin” Gu (Fullstack Software Developer) completed his 15th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Kaixiang reviewed three pull requests. He also helped Yiyun with urgent bugs to find the root cause of one. He continued to work on buttons for the team member tasks tab too. The main features are working right now and the UI is also finished. The time logs will be displayed on the dashboard when clicking the button. Kaixiang will keep testing this feature and push a PR next week. Pictures below show some of this work.

Aashish Thapa Magar (Full Stack Software Developer) completed his 13th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week two badge bugs were examined. One of the bugs, which is from LeadTeamOfXPlus, the team collection is not displaying expected output. And the other bug is from TotalHrsInCategory, which is missing sufficient data to test the bug. A new code has been written for the TotalHrsInCategory to minimize computation time but due to insufficient data, it has not been tested for all outcomes. Pictures below relate to this work.

Jianjun Luo (Software Engineer) completed her 12th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Jianjun finalized the work for the ‘all tasks’ functionality by fixing the sorting method. She then updated the forgot password page so that it will automatically validate the input format. The code works locally but fails the check after uploading, possibly due to the package version problem. Therefore Jianjun rewrote the function to prevent this from happening. Pictures below show some of this work.

Rajasri “RJ” Janaki Raman (React/MongoDB Full-stack Developer) completed her 11th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, RJ Reviewed PR 677 and added suggestions and identified a few validation problems. She also experienced a CORS error and had to re-setup the entire workspace to rule it out. RJ additionally spent time working on “Enabling the option to submit a summary for different users by manager and above rules”, cleaning up the Summary Bar component, and analyzed Storybook as an option for us and provided suggestions. Pictures below show some of this work.

Johny dos Santos Anastacio (Software Engineer) completed his 10th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. Johny this week worked on the task “100 hours earned Badges” and got the solution. Now he just needs to finish all the tests for all categories. Next, Johny worked on figuring out what was happening with the development Branch because it was giving a bunch of errors and the Dev Application too, but he didn’t succeed on that. He also checked his PR for the subtask_folder_task PR for the frontend, because there are a bunch of errors there and he is thinking of creating another PR to fix all errors. Pictures below show some of this work.

Aishwarya Kalkundrikar (Full Stack Software Developer) completed her 8th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Aishwarya found the solution to calculate the total remaining hours for the user correctly. Three cases are covered by her in this solution. Case 1: If the task is deleted from the profile. Case 2: If the task’s status is marked as ‘Complete’. Case 3: If the task is unassigned. She tried initializing the total remaining hours so that it is calculated correctly for previously deleted tasks, but no luck as any specific variable is not changed while previously deleting. Aishwarya also had a word with Yiyun about initializing the total remaining hours directly into the database for old deleted tasks. No solution yet though. Pictures below show some of this work.

Raul Effting (Jr. Front-End Web Developer) completed his 6th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Raul continuously checked and reviewed more PRs. Frontend PRs included: 657, 654, 641, 639, 622, 620, and 595. Approved PRs included: 666, 667 (Frontend). He also worked on PR 676 “(PRIORITY LOW) Header menu displays behind content when opened.” In Header.jsx, a ‘z-index: 10’ was added to the Navbar, so it cannot be overlapped by page content on small screens anymore. This PR was merged. Raul also worked on the following functionality: “(PRIORITY LOW) Jae: Add to top of app a section that the “Owner” class (only) can edit to post a message to all users of the app like, “Happy Holidays”.”. The Backend was finished and the functionality is already done, however, the Frontend needs some improvement to get cleaner and the logo is still pending from the design team. Check out the pictures below as examples of this work.

Rafael C Castro (Software Engineer) completed his 4th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Rafael performed PR reviews, checked their related code and followed up on those with new developments. Rafael also tested the HGN App for features and bugs. The reviewed PRs were PR#595, PR#622, PR#635, PR#654, PR#657, PR#664, PR#667. Check out the pictures below as examples of this work.

Filipe Santos de Oliveira (Full Stack Developer) completed his 3rd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. Filipe worked this week on the following PRs: 676, 673, 671, 666, 672, 667, 665, 664, 652, 641, 657, 635, 622, 631, 639, 620, 677 and 653. For #666 He found ten results with one ‘m’ on the backend for the word ‘committed’ as requested in that PR. For #672 he tested it and it’s working like in his video sent to the comments section, but he encountered the same issue as @AnishPandita encountered related to the hours option. For #665 Filipe suggested just like @Gukal7 did, that the subs are not clearly defined. To change the font color of the subs, for example, or something that makes it clear that the directory is a sub, for example a branch symbol next to the folder name. For #664 he informed the person everything works fine. The only detail is the same as @one-community and @Gukal7 mentioned in the comments section about changing ‘until’ to ‘through’. In #641 he noticed some issues with different page resolutions. The cards on the Reports page are shifting position at a specific page size. Also, on the Team page where there are some pie charts, the whole page is not flexible. In #635 when he added the intangible hours in the volunteering times tab, an error popup appeared. When Filipe returned to the main page, the box for the current week remained reset. When he added the main intangible time, the task was added to the task box and timelog, but the current week box kept with zero. After he returned to the volunteering times in the profile, there was an addition to the manual time added in the main with the time manually added in the volunteering times. In #622 Filipe informed the same question as Rafael did that the “Total submitted: 0” is not working. In #631, when he changed the page resolution the ‘table’ was flexible but its child items were not. In #639 Filipe tested this PR and it’s showing the last three weeks correctly, but he ran into the same problem as Raul ran, a bug when it shows the summaries. It could be due to a number of things such as incorrect data being passed to the component, a mistake in the component’s rendering logic, or an issue with the component’s state or props. For #620 he tested It and it seems to be working correctly. It’s showing the blue squares as well. In #653 Filipe identified that it is not possible to alternate between stopwatch and countdown. See below pictures as examples of this work.

Anish Pandita (Software Engineer) completed his 3rd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Anish completed another set of Frontend PR Reviews which included PR #673, #674 #675, #676, #677. The major tasks in the PRs was checking if the text container correctly wraps the content, testing responsiveness of the hamburger menu (derivative of old PR) and verifying if the forgot password form has correct input validation if the user doesn’t enter a name or inputs wrong email format. The PR workload was a bit less this week, therefore Anish utilized the work time to refresh his React skills. He studied the component building and other styling techniques prevalent in React code style. Practiced CRUD (Create, Rename, Update, Delete) operations in React and how to communicate with a database. He ran into some issues and errors while practicing and solved them successfully. See pictures below as examples of this work.

Tianjue Wang (Software Developer) completed her 2nd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Tianjue worked on reviewing PRs by checking the code, adding comments, etc. By reviewing #667, #676, #673, #641, and reading comments, she familiarized herself with the whole system and how it works. Also, she spent a lot of time reviewing some React knowledge on Udemy, preparing for writing code in the future weeks. See below pictures as examples of this work.

Xinyu Jiang (Software Engineer) completed her 2nd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Xinyu spent most of the time reviewing PRs. It was interesting for her to find codes or function issues in the process. Apart from that, she also reviewed and learned some new conventions and behaviors related to React, which was very helpful for her coding. See the images below as examples of this work.

Ayush Tripathi (Full Stack Developer) joined the team and completed his 1st week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Ayush read most of the documents that were shared with him by Jae: General Onboarding Checklist, Instructions for Running HGN React App Locally, Ayush Tripathi and One Community Collaboration, Using ESLint and other code formatting tool to produce better code, HGN Volunteer Documentation. He also successfully installed Node Js, React Js, Visual Studio, and the required plugins and managed to run the application locally. See below pictures as examples of this work.

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating conscious management of spaceship earth 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 week the core team continued to improve the solar sizing spreadsheet and met with the Compression Testing Team to discuss expectations, create new attainable goals, and convey the goal for this week, as well as discussed with Marcus the experience the previous team had with using a wand to directly add the foam to the slurry. The same team member also interviewed and on-boarded a new volunteer to continue work with the city center hub connector design process.

Stacey Maillet (Graphic Designer) completed her 87th week working on the final edits and revisions to the Murphy bed instructions. This week Stacey continued to address and resolve the comments received from the team. Screenshots below relate to this work.

Julia Meaney (Researcher and Assistant to Executive Director) completed her 21st week with the team. This week, Julia checked on the “Murphy bed Instructions” PDF and resolved comments where feedback had been integrated. She then continued and completed her review of Chuck’s integration of requested edits on the “Sustainable Roadways, Walkways, and Landscaping” Feedback PDF. She made fixes on the live webpage to headings, table of contents, spacing, Title texts on links, and other formatting and coding issues as needed. She checked all of the images on the site, making small fixes as needed and assigning larger tasks to Chuck on the source Google Doc and the Feedback PDF. Julia then completed her final review of the “Addressing Non-recyclables” Google Doc. She checked Mercy’s most recent additions and added her feedback in the comments. Next, Julia went through the “Chickens” Google Doc and checked Chuck’s integration of new content to the “Ethical, Humane, & Conscientious Chicken Stewardship” webpage, crossing off content on the doc that had been correctly integrated. She made various fixes to ToC’s, images, format, and linked resources as needed and backed up new additional resources to her Dropbox folder. Finally, Julia continued her work on the “Eco-Laundry” task. She added a new “Flexibility Strategy” section to the site, writing a paragraph explaining One Community’s eco-laundry flexibility strategy and updating the table of content with the new subheading. See pictures below.

The Compression Team consisting of Genesis Avila (Engineering Intern Researcher), Fatima Duenas-Esparza (Engineering Intern Researcher), and Sarah-Jean Boyd (Engineering Intern Researcher) completed their 13th weeks helping with the Aircrete and earthbag compression testing. This week the compression testing team made another batch of aircrete using the same recipe as the week before but with the other foam generator, the Little Dragon. The focus shifted to trying to get the proper foam density (90g/L), which continued to be difficult because the effect of changing the pressure was unpredictable. Pictures below are related to this work.

Loza Ayehutsega (Civil Engineer/Assistant Civil Engineer) completed her 6th week helping review the Net-zero Bathroom and Earthbag Village water collection and storage engineering calculations and designs. This week Loza continued reviewing the report document, rainwater harvesting system, and septic tank design. The rainwater harvesting system described in the report document was not clear. Rainwater harvesting systems from different literature was reviewed and the Introduction, approaches, and benefits for the residential buildings are presented in the review work. The septic tank design part was reviewed in the previous weeks. However, this time some details from the literature were added to the review work. See below for some pictures related to this.

Vidhi Bansal (3D Visualization Artist) completed her 3rd week helping with video and AutoCAD renders for a 4-dome cluster Earthbag Village housing design. This week Vidhi worked on the 4-dome cluster flythrough landscape and lighting tests and iterations. She worked on foliage tests, arid and green landscape and has deduced from reference images that the ideal landscape would be a mix of both where the land around the building is cleared out. Next week she will work on proper placement of the foliage so the building looks well situated on the site. Less green than the green landscape and more green than the arid one. She also worked on lighting with good rays keeping camera angles in mind for a more cinematic and realistic effect. Check out the pictures below as examples of this work.

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is facilitating conscious management of spaceship earth 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, Gabriela Vilela S. C. Diniz (Architect and Urban Planner) completed her 32nd week working on the interior design for the Duplicable City Center rental rooms.

Charles spent the week working on additions to the Chicken Shelter Needs section of the Ethical, Humane, & Conscientious Chicken Stewardship page. These included a discussion of chicken coop design with step-by-step building instructions with illustrations of coop design as well as how to implement nesting boxes. They should be safe, dark, clean & private. There were illustrations of how to make nesting boxes out of materials such as old furniture, 5 gallon buckets, plastic crates. Just about anything will do. Includes were the pros and cons of netting, wire and electric fencing. Finally additions were made on how to prepare chicken feed along with a feeding timeline. A few links to preparing chicken feed were added to the resources section. The pictures below share some of this work.

Yifei Zhu (Analyst and Researcher) also completed her 13th week, now working on reviewing and formatting for publication the recipes for the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan.

This week the core team completed 30 hours managing One Community volunteer-work review not included above, emails, social media accounts, web development, new bug identification and bug fix integration for the Highest Good Network software, and interviewing and getting set up new volunteer team members. Pictures below show some of this.

Yiyun Tan (Management Dashboard Team Leader) completed her 41st week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Yiyun was working on the urgent bugs 3/4. During investigation on those two bugs, she realized the urgent bug 2 is also related to the others. She accessed Cali’s work and tried to get more clues. Next week she will discuss those bugs with senior developers, hopefully to solve them. Pictures of some of this work are below.

Yan Xu (Software Development Engineer) completed her 28th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. Yan this week started working on the “create new summary group” function, after clicking this button, it is possible to pop up a page to input the summary group name. But currently, it is not possible to successfully create a new row in the summary management table, so she still needs to investigate and think about the code for this. Yan will push PR part by part in the next step. As for the pause and resume button, she verified that the front end change will cause the backend change. See pictures below for some of this work.

Alan Lee Sing Chan Yau (Software Engineer) completed his 14th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Alan started off by working on fixing the misspellings of “committed” throughout the frontend and also the backend. He worked on a similar PR before, and this time Alan knew that it was very probable that some things might not work properly after updating the spelling. The first problem he encountered was that after fixing the misspelling problem, the weeklyCommittedHours value in the summary was blank. Alan understood why this was happening, and this was because every user has this value stored in the database with the wrong spelling “weeklyComittedHours” with one m. That is why Alan left just one misspelling so we can continue seeing this value. Then Alan worked on his Management Dashboard feature that was needed, by adding a button to the tasks of each team member on the dashboard to mark their task as completed. Alan was able to add this button to each task, but he is still figuring out how to mark it as completed the same way we can do it in the userProfile page. Pictures below show some of this work.

Kaixiang “Kevin” Gu (Fullstack Software Developer) completed his 14th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. In this week, Kaixiang wrapped up PR #651, resolved issues that reviewers experienced, and then the PR was approved and merged. He also continued working on the bug, “show time logs in team member tasks”. The 24 hour function is working right now but still needs to be optimized. He’s also trying to find a way to make the UI look more organized when we have a long list of team members. Pictures below show some of this work.

Jianjun Luo (Software Engineer) also completed her 11th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Jianjun made some updates to the “open all folders” task based on the reviewers. Loading has been accelerated and a signal was introduced to make it more user friendly. She also took a look at the bug reported from the user profile task/project tab and raised a PR to fix a bug from the leaderboard component about text overflow. Pictures below show some of this work.

Rajasri “RJ” Janaki Raman (React/MongoDB Full-stack Developer) completed her 10th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. RJ worked on her bug fixes for PR 632, dashboard component bug 4. Analysis on the code flow is ongoing but will be completed next week. She reviewed PRs 657, 658 and associated backend PRs, raised bug 2 and 3 in the login component, worked on identifying the important steps for Phase II, made necessary slack communications with Raul, Pedro, Jianjun, Alan and Jae, and analyzed “Storybook” suggested by Pedro for our usage in the app. Pictures below show some of this work.

Johny dos Santos Anastacio (Software Engineer) completed his 9th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Johny worked on the task, “Fix 100 hours total contributed badges bug”. He’s now working on a way to make user hoursByCategory properties to assign the 100 hours badges, because the only thing the categoryTangibleHrs are being used for is to assign those badges, but Johny is not understanding how this array categoryTangibleHrs is calculated. Johny also worked on his other task, “change the role from user profile gets saved and updated on profile page but doesn’t reflect on other pages/privileges”, he made some changes that were requested by reviewers, and the PR was merged. Pictures below show some of this work.

Aishwarya Kalkundrikar (Full Stack Software Developer) completed her 7th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Aishwarya thoroughly went through the issue and found out that whenever any task is deleted, its estimated time and logged-in hours are not removed. This makes the sum or remaining hours be calculated incorrectly. Aishwarya also found out that the remaining hours of the tasks which are present in the ‘all’ section after deletion are also considered in the total sum of remaining hours. She found the solution and is now finding out if there are any corner cases that need to be handled. Pictures below show some of this work.

Raul Effting (Jr. Front-End Web Developer) completed his 5th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Raul continuously checked and reviewed more PRs. Frontend PRs included: 657, 654, 641, 639, 622, 620, and 595. Backend PRs included: 277 and 266. Approved PRs included: 664, 651 (Frontend), and 269 (Backend). He also worked on PR 670 “'(PRIORITY LOW): Optimize user profiles for phones and tablets.” On Basic Information Modal, ‘status’ and ‘end date’ were aligned. The delete button was aligned on Teams and Projects Modals, and so were the tab titles and the checkbox overlapping. Inputs were aligned at the Links Modal. Finally, the badges’ modals were improved by resizing them to fit, including fixing the buttons without the scroll needing and creating a dropdown button on the Select Featured modal. The PR is pending approval. Check out the pictures below as examples of this work.

Pedro Elton (Frontend Software Developer) completed his 5th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Pedro built and delivered the resource component. That can be found at Admin Login → Other Links → Projects → Click WBS Icon by project chosen → Choose WBS → Add Task. Pedro also fixed the styles of the circle icon that toggles on that same component and the padding between buttons from the WBS page. He then built a style guide based on the bootstrap design system and discussed with RJ and Jae about the consistency and performance across the application, suggesting an integration with Storybook to make it easy to maintain the large code base of the app. Pictures below show some of this work.

Rafael C Castro (Software Engineer) completed his 3rd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Rafael continued to perform PR reviews, checking the related code and following up on those with new developments. Rafael also tested the HGN App for features and bugs. PRs reviewed this week were PR#267, PR#269, PR#635, PR#651, PR#657, PR#664, PR#666, PR#667, PR#668, PR#670, PR#672. Check out the pictures below as examples of this work.

Prabhjot Singh (Fullstack Software Engineer) also completed his 3rd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. Prabhjot reviewed 10 PRs this week and 2-3 of them twice after revisions. He suggested solutions for fixing 2-3 issues and also found some extra errors and got those fixed by Alan. See below pictures as examples of this work.

Filipe Santos de Oliveira (Full Stack Developer) completed his 2nd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. Filipe finished PR reviews this week for a variety of issues and bugs posted on Github. The issues were 595, 666, 668, 654, 670, 671, and 670. In PR 654 Filipe informed that sometimes the dashboard doesn’t load after he refreshed the page or when he was trying to go back to the previous page. Also he noticed that clicking a second time on the dot next to the user the leaderboard only shows the user he clicked on previously. As soon as he comes back to the page it shows all users again and after clicking on a second user the leaderboard only shows that user again. For PR 595 Filipe found many errors: Unable to click on items from the tab tasks, last week, week before the last; Popup bar is not fixed on the top; The floating menu is opening below the time counter window and summary window. He recommended some minor changes to the popup bar that fixes the popup bar space on the left side of the page and puts the popup bar above the number in the red circle of tasks, badges. Finally for PR 670 Filipe found that in the basic information, the ‘role’ field is overtaking the screen and in the basic information, the ‘Time Zone’ field is overtaking the screen. See below pictures as examples of this work.

Anish Pandita (Software Engineer) also completed his 2nd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Anish completed PR reviews for multiple issues and bugs listed on Github. The issues included #664, #666, #667, #670, #668, #671, #672. Most of the issues were UI changes that needed to be tested to ensure everything is working fine. He commented all the findings like the bugs found in PR #666 where the deletion of task from still didn’t update the time filling menu, suggested that some optimization might be necessary in the PR #667 for better UX, found that the profile page had still some bugs while testing responsiveness on different screen sizes for PR #670 and formulated the findings for #672 where Anish found some bugs in the create task menu. Overall it was a fruitful week and he learnt a lot. See pictures below as examples of this work.
