ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

 

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

Highest Good housing, cob construction, earthbag construction, straw bale construction, earthship construction, subterranean construction, sustainable homes, eco-homesOne Community is creating a better way of life through eco-communities 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:

This week, Mithil Upadhayay (Mechanical Engineer) began working on the Vermiculture Toilet designs within the Earthbag Village (Pod 1). He addressed the design intent outlined in the Google Docs regarding separating the bottom and top chambers. The proposed solution involves implementing a parallel blade design/mechanism, as depicted in the images. These blades will remain open and can be closed when separation is required, as demonstrated. To streamline the process and minimize costs, the suggestion was to utilize or repurpose large metal oil drums instead of manufacturing separate boxes for the bottom chamber. However, further consideration is necessary to determine the optimal mounting method for these drums with the top chamber. One Community’s model for a better way of life through eco-communities includes sustainable waste processing like this. See below for some of the pictures.

This week, Julio Marín Bustillos (Mechanical Engineer) completed another week working on the hub connector. He focused on setting up ANSYS on his computer, a specialized software platform designed for Finite Element Analysis (FEA). He navigated through the installation process, ensuring that all necessary components were correctly integrated into his system. Once ANSYS was up and running, Julio proceeded to import the model into the software environment, an important step in laying the foundation for the simulation. He then assigned materials to the various components of the model, considering their physical properties and behavior under different conditions. Then he started on the task of creating meshes, refining the mesh density to strike the delicate balance between computational efficiency and accuracy of results. One Community’s model for a better way of life through eco-communities includes City Center designs like this. See the pictures below for examples related to this work.

HIGHEST GOOD NETWORK PROGRESS

Highest Good Network® Application, improving city efficiency, creating the world we wantOne Community creating a better way of life through eco-communities through open source Highest Good Network® software that is a web-based application for collaboration, time tracking, and objective data collection. The purpose of the Highest Good Network is to provide software for internal operations and external cooperation. It is being designed for global use in support of the different countries and communities replicating the One Community sustainable village models and related components.

This week, a core team member worked on the Highest Good Network confirming fixes for several PRs. This included confirming the fix for a recurring issue related to working week dates. However, several PRs remained unresolved, including issues with the default setting for new or converted mentors, the implementation of editing tangible time for non-Admin/Owner roles, and PR1471 regarding the Blue Square Reason Scheduler. They identified a problem where a volunteer user failed to receive a blue square after editing their time entry multiple times. PRs 1218+532, which grants users permission to manage individual user permissions, require clarification on which permission to use. They also engaged in various other activities, including commenting on requests to improve the loading speed of the Weekly Summaries Reports page, fixing the team code dropdown list to display 15 items, addressing a request to add a popup message for invalid team codes, and providing feedback on horizontal scrolling issues on the team page. The Highest Good Network software is how we’ll be managing and objectively measuring our process for a better way of life through eco-communities throughout our social architecture, construction, production, and maintenance processes. See below for pictures related to their work.

This week, Julio Marín Bustillos (Mechanical Engineer) completed another week working on the hub connector. He calculated the overall weight of the structure by summing the weights of each individual component. This step is crucial as this information will be utilized for performing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on the hub connectors to assess their performance. During the process, he recognized that an even distribution of the overall weight across all the nodes would be ideal for the structure’s design. However, Julio acknowledges the necessity of utilizing a more advanced FEA software to accurately determine the real load distribution within the structure. The Duplicable City Center is part of our model for creating the world that’s possible with teacher/demonstration villages. Below are some demonstration images of his work.

This week, Alex started working in a developer role, working on two pull requests, PR #646 for the back end and PR #1562 for the front end. To resolve a testing bug, he researched the Provider and Connect APIs for Redux and made edits to the styling of the front-end prompt buttons. Finally, on the back end, he configured their own OpenAI API key. Jingyi completed the development of the “rehireable / Not rehireable” checkbox feature, implemented on both the user profile page and in the reports/people reports/user profile section of the platform. Following thorough testing in a local environment, where the feature performed as expected without any issues, Jingyi submitted two pull requests for review: PR 2032 and PR 789. Nathan reviewed team members’ weekly summaries and videos, offering constructive feedback to foster improvement. Additionally, he reviewed Jay’s pull requests, clarifying requirements for password and task X permissions with Jae. In-depth review of Jay’s pull requests also involved addressing issues related to editing time log dates and requesting necessary changes for refinement. Shiqing tackled the problem of users needing to be part of a team to view their tasks. She reviewed the comments in the pull requests made by colleagues and made necessary code modifications. Utilizing useEffect, she monitored the userHaveTask status to indicate whether tasks were assigned to a user and directly updated the activeTab variable within the timeLogState as soon as any data change occurred. Additionally, Shiqing enhanced the Teams component by implementing further tests for adding, deleting, and updating team information.

After troubleshooting, Swathy identified a configuration issue within the file and is currently researching solutions through online documentation, and writing test cases to verify the component’s functionality. Tzu Ning checked out the current branch, cleared the site data and cache, then logged in as an admin user and tested the Google Doc link by entering various URLs to verify that only Google Doc links are allowed. Additionally, he confirmed that any valid URL could be entered in the Media Folder link, ensuring the functionality aligns with the intended design and requirements. Xiao assisted Shereen in testing the time entry history feature, identifying a critical limitation: due to permissions constraints, users lacking ‘edit time entry’ access are unable to modify time entry details, leading to unchangeable history records. Additionally, he supported Mohammad with a refactoring issue related to accessing the state in the Redux store, providing guidance on best practices for state management. Xiao also contributed to resolving a failing test case issue for Christy, advising on modifications to test scenarios to ensure success. In another instance, he helped Demi troubleshoot a visibility problem with her page, which was traced back to a time entry logged against a task she was not assigned to. Furthermore, he implemented a pull request to enhance the Timer’s resilience to poor internet connectivity by allowing up to three failed connection attempts before a heartbeat failure is declared, aiming to improve user experience in low-bandwidth situations.

Another core team member worked on Highest Good Network PRs testing, confirming fixed PRs, resolving the issue of moving time entries to another task (#486) and fixing the button placement problem in PR1775. However, several PRs remained unresolved, such as fixing minor formatting issues on the Dashboard and Profile Pages (PR1958), where the “Click for user class information” mouseover text still persists. Additionally, issues were discovered with an updated pop-up window for time off requests, including problems with changing dates and the inability to request time off for weeks before the current date. Other unresolved PRs involved updating People Reports and fixing the New Max Personal Record award. Alongside PR testing, they reported new issues, including references to deleted accounts within the application and incorrect working week dates. Furthermore, they checked the status of tested PRs and resolved all remaining issues in the “Murphy Bed Instructions” PDF file. The Highest Good Network software is how we’ll be managing and objectively measuring our process for holistic community creation through our social architecture, construction, production, and maintenance processes. DIY furniture, like the Murphy Bed designs, are a big part of One Community’s holistic community creation model too. See below for pictures related to their work.
