ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is creating Earth-care teacher/demonstration 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 reviewed the “Murphy Bed Furniture Page Assembly Instructions” PDF document, addressing comments, and providing descriptions for comments related to labeling links for downloading multiple PDF files on the same page. We also tested the Highest Good Network PRs for One Community. They concentrated on HGN PRs testing, with unresolved PRs 1182. They recorded a video illustrating the issue while the team addressed and resolved PRs 472, involving the addition of a new field “Start Date” to the Create New User modal, and 1216, fixing an app crash linked to duplicate permissions. Concurrently with PR testing, they retested an Admin account’s ability to submit Weekly Summaries Reports for others. Additionally, the team initiated testing for PR 1073+464, focusing on easy/nearly automated data input for creating a new member. In tandem with their PR testing duties, they See the collage pictures below.

Abhishek Kadian (Architect) worked on preparing the Revit file of a 4-dome structure for the Earthbag Village (Pod 1), aiming to match the roof plan and other detailed DWG files with AutoCAD and reference final 3D views. He gathered all necessary information for the model from the reference file and importing it into Revit, while also creating families in Revit on the side. The earthbag village will be the first sustainable village build as part of the One Community Earth-care teacher/demonstration hub. See the collage below for an idea of his work.

Charles Gooley (Web Designer) began work on the Most Sustainable Lightbulbs and Light Bulb Companies page. The sections covered why it is essential to compare lightbulbs for sustainability, the criteria for selecting the most sustainable light bulb, and an analysis of various types of bulbs, including incandescent, compact fluorescent, and light emitting diodes. The content delved into identifying the best type of sustainable light bulbs, guidance on interpreting an LED light bulb label, and a list of the best and most sustainable light bulb companies, with company logos and names linked to their respective websites. Additionally, the page featured insights on the best energy-efficient lights, encompassing alternative options. Sustainable lighting is a large part of the sustainability foundation of One Community as a future Earth-care teacher/demonstration hub. The collage below shows his work comparing sustainable lighbulb and light bulb companies.

Yiwei He (Mechanical Engineer) met with her Duplicable City Center team to review progress, coordinate future steps, and establish meeting schedules to accommodate the upcoming holiday season.

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is increasing sustainable flow and yield 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 its function: Duplicable City Center Open Source Hub

This week, Amiti Singh (Architectural Designer) reviewed the 3D renders she generated for Room 10 in the Duplicable City Center, initially centered around a Boho-industrial aesthetic. The renders integrated eclectic industrial furniture and boho decor to temper the color palette. To achieve a more formal appearance, Amiti eliminated redundant objects and introduced materials to enrich the room’s texture. Alongside this, she finished file finalization for earlier room design projects within the City Center. We’re addressing sustainable flow and yield in our room designs by looking a the sustainability of all components in each room, and the benefits for those who stay in them. Amiti’s beautiful architectural renderings are shown in the collage below.

Justin Varghese (Mechanical Engineer) focused on frame analysis and simulation to assess the City Center Hub Connector’s response to seismic (earthquake) loading, specifically employing response spectrum analysis (RSA). These analyses were created following guidance from the Senior Engineer, with a focus on enhancing the accuracy of the analysis by incorporating more than 90% mass participation through the inclusion of additional modes. This is about sustainable flow of load forces to yield safe structural design. The images below show some of Justin’s work on frame analysis.

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is increasing sustainable flow and yield 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:

    • See what we’ll be growing: Gardens & Hoop Houses | Large-scale Structures | Food Forest | TA

This week, the core team continued working with Hayley on the Highest Good food component. Collaborative efforts were undertaken both collectively and individually to advance the Food Infrastructure document and its corresponding Edits document. Attention was given to sections 50, 100, and 400, addressing personnel arrival procedures at the One Community property and the sustainable flow and yields of our food infrastructure rollout process. Furthermore, we completed the audio recording of Eckhart Tolle’s book “A NEW EARTH,”. You can see the images in the collage below.

Hayley Rosario (Sustainability Research Assistant) continued her review of the open-source Highest Good Food rollout plan. She reviewed and addressed comments and suggestions provided by the core team, making edits to the EDIT’s document to his specifications. She also resolved issues related to capitalization, images, and information. Additionally, Hayley incorporated the 100, 400, and over 400 drafts, adding webpages, refining formatting, and reviewing personal information in the over 400-people categories as part of the sustainable flow and yields of our food infrastructure rollout process. See below for the picture.

Shivangi Patel (Graphic Designer) continued her work the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan UI/UX Web and Graphics development. This week she created both volunteer announcements and profile images for volunteer work using Photoshop. Simultaneously, she authored pertinent web content for the announcement. Later in the week, Shivangi focused on designs for the transition menu recipe webpages. She incorporated small banners and iterated on the designs, prioritizing a user experience. Additionally, Shivangi compiled a deck to organize and present the designs for submission to the web designer. See below for the visual images.

Smit Bhoir (Data and Business Analyst) continued data analysis for the menus for the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan. Smit completed the review for Shaurya’s weekly blog post and made progress on data tasks related to the Kitchen menu. His focus remained on data analysis for the Transition Kitchen menu, emphasizing the creation of interpretation tables and tutorials for the “master Recipe FWA” documentation. Smit concluded the week by working on the data interpretation task for the FWA recipe ingredient cost analysis from the Transition Kitchen Menu. These designs are about the sustainable flow and yield of food procurement and preparation during our transition to food self-sufficiency. A visual representation of Smit’s work can be observed in the accompanying picture collage below.

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is increasing sustainable flow and yield 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.

HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is increasing sustainable flow and yield 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 53 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. We also shot and incorporated the video above that talks about sustainable flow and yield and how sustainable flow and yield integrate into the bigger picture of everything One Community is doing. The pictures below show some of this work.

The core team tested Highest Good Network PRs for One Community this week. They worked on HGN pull request (PR) testing, recorded a video detailing the issues identified in the testing of one PR, and shared the link with the volunteer on Slack. The team also updated locations for inactive accounts ensuring the accuracy of information. They faced a challenge when attempting to update the location for one account, as clicking on the ‘Get Time Zone’ button consistently resulted in a white screen. The Highest Good Network software is how we’ll be measuring much of the sustainable flow and yield of our construction, production, and maintenance processes. See the collage pictures below.

Aaron Wang (Fundraising Assistant) continued to help One Community with working on fundraising. We won’t be able to have sustainable flow and yield without funding. This week, Aaron researched eight potential funders: Michael R. Bloomberg, Marcel Arsenault and Cynda Collins Arsenault, Mark Zuckerberg, Ted Turner, Jeff Skoll, Tom Secunda, Tom Steyer and Kat Taylor, and Laura and John Arnold. His research focused on their sustainability activities, funding histories, and the specific organizations they have supported. The outcome is intended to facilitate future networking and connection strategies. Alongside this new research, Aaron also completed the ranking of previously researched funders, categorizing them based on the priority for future connection. You can view this work in the image below.

Vishvesh Sheora (Artificial Intelligence Specialist) focused on enhancing the SEO performance on the live main site, achieving an improvement from 35 to a much better 80. The more web traffic we have, the more we can promote  sustainable flow and yield. He also focused on refining SEO criteria as outlined by RankMath, and worked on addressing specific elements to optimize the overall SEO score. Emphasizing content quality, Vishvesh balanced length and pruned content where necessary. See some of his work in the image below.

ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is creating positive change permanence 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, Abhishek Kadian (Architect) reviewed the drawings, renderings, and structures of the Earthbag Village (Pod 1) three Dome clusters and started preparing the relevant files. He updated the section of the three Dome Cluster to synchronize with the 3D model. Furthermore, Abhishek collected information for the four Dome Cluster, initially aiming to create a Revit 3D model that corresponds with the rendered images. The Earthbag Village is the first sustainable village in our creating positive change permanence plan. See the dome cluster renderings he worked on below.

Charles Gooley (Web Designer) focused on enhancing the Water Recycling Net-zero Bathroom page by addressing comments. Tasks undertaken included rectifying the anchor link in the Tables of Contents to ensure seamless navigation to the respective headings, replacing the Structural Wood Lumber Engineering Properties chart, eliminating extraneous spaces beneath underlined headings, updating the Tables of Contents to reflect section relocations, resizing the High Desert Utah Monthly rainfall graphic and relocating it to the right, and rectifying the left margin subsequent to the Tables of Contents. Additionally, he contributed new content to the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering page. This involved incorporating a new section that offers a comparative analysis between traditional geodesic domes and city center domes, encompassing an introduction and frame models, vector loads, weather and environmental effects tests, as well as examinations of snow and earthquake loads, supported by relevant illustrations. Water recycling and the Duplicable City Center are both huge parts of our strategy for creating positive change permanence. Check out the collage below for a look into his web design work.

Khushboo Vyas (Architect) reviewed and reorganized the Earthbag Village page. She broke each component down into distinct sub-components categorized under ‘what,’ ‘why,’ ‘how,’ and specific details within the Earthbag Village Site Map spreadsheet. She also proofread the body text, ensuring high-resolution visuals were correctly accessible through relevant hyperlinks and cross-referenced other URLs. Khushboo provided suggestions, including corrected text and proposed graphic incorporations. Addressing the process sequence for the DIY open-source tutorial, she initiated the creation of flow charts and structuring the order using traditional pen-and-paper methods. The Earthbag Village is the first sustainable village in our creating positive change permanence plan. You can find her work in the collage below.

Loza Ayehutsega (Civil Engineer/Assistant Civil Engineer) undertook a review of comments, removing resolved older comments while preserving the option to restore them if further clarification is required. In addition, she contributed additional points regarding the dam break and dam safety. We feel earthworks are an essential component of creating positive change permanence through water conservation. Some of her work is shown in the collage below.

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

• • • Learn about this building and it’s function: Duplicable City Center Open Source Hub

Julio Marín Bustillos (Mechanical Engineer) advanced the design work for the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering in the sixth row. A realization emerged during this process — none of the connectors in this row exhibit repetition. Consequently, each node necessitates a distinct variation in hub connector design, a factor that is expected to extend the time required for completion. The same scenario is anticipated for the fifth row, where the absence of repeated designs poses a similar challenge, emphasizing the time-intensive nature of the design work for these specific rows. See images of this hub connector design work below.

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is creating positive change permanence 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:

One Community is demonstrating common sense eco-management 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, Charles Gooley (Web Designer) completed another week of assisting with web design. Charles focused on the Most Sustainable Windows & Window Companies page, organizing the content and incorporating a Table of Contents with anchor links. The structured sections cover topics such as why assess doors, understanding doors, types of doors, door materials, and listings of the best & most sustainable door companies. The page is now ready for review. Additionally, Charles updated the Table of Contents on the Duplicable City Center Engineering page, streamlining the referencing process by aligning it with corresponding section numbers. The visual representation of this work is provided in the accompanying pictures.

Khushboo Vyas (Architect) continued helping with the Earthbag Village (Pod 1) complete organization process. This week she developed a spreadsheet tutorial and its data organization. The focus of the tutorial was to establish a structured organization and workflow for the processes outlined on the page, emphasizing a clear sequence across pre-construction, and post-construction phases. This approach aims to enable any interested individual to navigate the entire do-it-yourself (DIY) process. See below for the visual pictures.

Loza Ayehutsega (Civil Engineer/Assistant Civil Engineer) continued developing the Earth Dam Design and construction for the Water Retention, Pond, and Lake Creation tutorial, still developing the dam break risk analysis topic. Loza worked on the revision of design standards and construction techniques, specifically, her attention was on the evaluation of dam break risks. This process involved an examination of factors such as the extent of flooding and the consequential impact on downstream areas. Take a look at the pictures below to get a glimpse of this work.

Shengguang Jin (Mechanical Engineer) continued helping with the Vermiculture Toilet designs for the Earthbag Village. Shengguang focused on the material selection for components amenable to layer-by-layer 3D printing. The materials selection involved in hyperelastic solids is characterized by a capacity to soften in response to temperature drops and harden with rising temperatures, presenting a property-temperature relationship compared to crystalline metals. With this in mind, he explored an individual design that could possibly be 3D printed. Visual representations of his work are available in the accompanying images.

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is demonstrating common sense eco-management 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, Amiti Singh (Architectural Designer) continued her work helping with the interior design details for the rental rooms within the Duplicable City Center. Amiti advanced the 3D model for Room 10, focusing on incorporating a Boho-aesthetic Industrial theme. The integration of lighter materials into the room’s color palette was a key aspect of this development. Additionally, Amiti took up working on the material and furniture palette for the washroom of Room 10. Beyond her primary focus, she curated the final files for Rooms 4, 5, and 9. This task involved drafting plans for these rooms and detailed cost analyses and product specifications. See below for the collage of images related to this.

ENGINEERING TEAM 

This week, the engineering summary was managed by Arvindh Xavier (Civil Engineer) and featured Julio Marín Bustillos (Mechanical Engineer) highlighting Julio’s creation of three variations for the Dome Hub Connector design specific to the seventh row. While one variation remains outstanding, its completion is a prerequisite for advancing to the sixth and fifth rows. The timeline for these subsequent rows is extended due to the need for a more design approach, requiring the creation of multiple variations. See below for the visual representation of the images.

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is demonstrating common sense eco-management 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, Hayley Rosario (Sustainability Research Assistant) continued her review of the open-source Highest Good Food rollout plan. Hayley completed the initial rough draft of the 20-person material/task list within the EDITS document. Her approach involved curation of information sourced from the Food Infrastructure Rollout document, structuring it in a manner that aligns with the intended web page format. See below for the picture.

This week, the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan UI/UX Web and Graphics development was managed by Shivangi Patel (Graphic Designer), combining her work with the contributions of Rihab Baklouti (Freelance Generalist). Shivangi refined the volunteer’s profile image and produced work visuals using Photoshop. Concurrently, she created the corresponding web content for the announcement. Collaborating with Rihab, Shivangi played a key role in co-designing mock-ups for both the Vegan Recipes Home Page and Omnivore Recipe Home Page while Rihab’s contribution included button designs and assets. The duo employed their creative skills in designing individual recipe images, ensuring a user-friendly presentation of recipe information. Similarly, Shivangi also took charge of creating webpage banner images for specific recipe categories, including Vegan Rice Recipes, Vegan Potato Recipes, Vegan Yam Recipes, Vegan Pasta Recipes, and Omnivore Rice Recipes. See below for the visual images.

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is demonstrating common sense eco-management 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.

With over 8 years of work invested in the process, the sections below are all complete until we move onto the property and continue the development and open sourcing process with teachers and students – a development process that is built directly into the structure of the education program and everything else we’re creating too:

• Program Overview: Education Open Source Hub
• How the components work together: How to use the Education for Life Program
  
• Lesson Plans for Life – Lesson Plans How-to
• Foundations of Outstanding Leaders, Teachers, and Communicators
• Curriculum for Life
• Teaching Strategies for Life
• Learning Tools and Toys for Life
• Evaluation and Evolution

HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is demonstrating common sense eco-management 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 57 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. The pictures below show some of this work.

The core team also worked on testing HGN PRs, delivering precise results for One Community this week. We confirmed the case for PR 485, ensuring the seamless operation of a custom Infringement email, an increased number of required hours for the current week, and the addition of one Blue Square. All functions operated as intended. We tested a case for recording a video addressing a bug where a user needs to be on a team to view their tasks, providing a video demonstration. In her testing efforts, she resolved PR#1169 and scrutinized the functionality of PR#994 on both Development and production (Main) environments. While testing the latter, aimed at blocking all but Jae’s accounts from editing his accounts, we found that we could add and delete badges, and add teams for Jae’s accounts, and observed that there was no warning message during the profile modification process. You can view this work in the collage below. You can view this work in the collage below.

Another core team member continued to review Eckart Tolle’s audio of “A New Earth”, noting statements for possible inclusion in our One Community values page. This week, he also worked with Hayley Rosario revising and clarifying various aspects of the sections regarding the arrival of Pioneers to One Community’s property related to the Three and Twenty sections. You can view this work in the image below.

Aaron Wang (Fundraising Assistant) continued to help One Community with working on fundraising. This week, he researched six potential funders for future networking and partnership opportunities. The focus of his investigation included high-profile individuals and philanthropists: Robert Downey Jr., MacKenzie Scott, Salma Hayek, and her husband François-Henri Pinault, George Soros, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Aaron’s research analyzed their sustainability activities, philosophical approaches, and historical funding records. This included an examination of the organizations they have previously supported. The outcome of this research was compiled into a report intended to guide and enhance future connection strategies and networking efforts. Aaron’s work lays a foundational understanding of these potential funders’ philanthropic interests and past engagements, setting the stage for informed and strategic outreach in the future. You can view this work in the image below.

Harsha Kulkarni (Data Analyst) continued working on One Community’s Google AdWords campaigns and Analytics details. This week, Harsha focused on resolving data population issues on page 1 of the OCG Google Analytics Looker page. The tasks involved rectifying the data source by redirecting it to GA4 and adjusting the scheduled email alert to align with the updated changes. These efforts were aimed at ensuring the accurate and up-to-date population of all pages in the report. Harsha also generated new ads for campaigns associated with pages currently without active campaigns. She created five new ads under the donation campaign, contributing to the ongoing optimization and expansion of campaign content. You can see some of this in the picture below.

Julie Musicar (Sound Editor) continued to help One Community this week by going through the Google Doc and exploring a tutorial for implementing the timer. She began editing the podcast episodes, leveling, mixing, and mastering the audio to ensure optimal voice quality. She also generated music options, which can be found in Dropbox. View this work in the collage below.

ADMINISTRATION TEAM

This week, the Administration Team’s summary, covering their work administrating and managing most of One Community, was managed by Jamie Cruz (Administrative Assistant, Social Media Manager, and Team Manager) and includes Alyx Parr (Senior Support Specialist), Catherine Liu (Administrative and Analytics Assistant), Meenakshi Velayutham (Sustainability Associate), Olawunmi “Ola” Ijisesan (Administrative and Management Support), Ruiqi Liu (Administrative Assistant), Shaurya Sareen (Administrative Assistant), Xiaolai Li (Administrative Assistant). Alyx collaborated with Melina on summarizing and college-related tasks, focusing on refining two pages for the upcoming blog. Jamie, overseeing the administration team, managed the Blue Steel team, Core Team, and individual contributors, prioritizing editing tasks for tutorials and refining her social media management skills in collaboration with Sara. Meenakshi handled admin tasks, ensuring blog inclusivity, updating bios monitoring sheets, making bio announcements, and developing content from podcasts and an e-book chapter. Ola initiated a form creation project and, alongside creating collages, reviewed summaries, organized images for the blog, and collaborated with the PR Team. Ruiqi completed a four-step review process for multiple teams, created collages, and contributed to business plan development related to Energy and Roadway Infrastructure. Shaurya reviewed all of the pull requests, updated tracking sheets, and created a team summary and collage. Xiaolai organized documents, created summaries, reviewed cost analyses, and worked on a webpage for the weekly report. Catherine, starting as Administration and Analytics Assistant, completed onboarding checklists, familiarized herself with action items, and ensured an understanding of operational aspects associated with her duties. You can see the work for the team in the image below.

BLUE STEEL SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAM

This week, the Blue Steel Team’s summary, covering their work on the Highest Good Network software, was managed by Yubo Sun (Full Stack Software Developer and Team Manager), and includes, Haohui Lin (Software Engineer), Mohit Bali (Software Developer), Nathan Hoffman (Software Engineer), Sávio Mendes (Full Stack Software Developer), Xiao Wang (Software Engineer), and Yongjian Pan (React.js/MongoDB Full Stack Software Developer). Yubo coordinated the team’s efforts, with Nathan reviewing Luis’s bug fix for managing summary intro, redirecting Jeffrey for linting problems, and engaging in discussions with Yubo about unit testing permissions. Nathan and the team worked on the permissions multi-checkbox, completed data entry, implemented it in various locations, and delved into hook research, leading to code refactoring for simplification. Nathan further accomplished all implementations of PermissionList, addressed associated bug fixes, and created PR 1548. In a parallel focus, Mohit, newly promoted to the Dev Team, worked on four high-priority PR reviews, investing time in familiarizing himself with the development task selection process. Despite the substantial time invested in understanding tasks and workflows, Mohit addressed the critical issue of the automatic timer stopping when viewing WBS details. Haohui concentrated on enhancing app features, specifically fixing permissions for editing tasks in PR#1466. Haohui also worked on developing functionality that assigned permissions to individual users, enabling manager accounts to access projects and edit project details while managing permissions assigned to individuals and ensuring rigorous code testing. Yubo, in addition to overseeing the team’s collaborative efforts, concentrated on unit tests for the LinkModButton component and potentially the UserLinkLayout. Resolving a pull request (PR) with a failed npm test, Yubo identified that the issue might stem from a permission rebuild, prompting a refactoring approach aligned with recommended practices for consistent code access permissions. Unfortunately, testing the pull was hindered by challenges in permission management. Yubo provided assistance to Shree in finalizing her assigned tasks, contributing to the overall progress of the team. Yongjian addressed merge conflicts within his pull request, PR #842, which aimed at implementing a dark mode across the entire application. However, post-resolving these conflicts, he encountered an issue where the toggle button and associated features for the dark mode were inadvertently removed. He compared the files changed on Github and worked on re-implementing the original features for this task in his local branch, aiming to reinstate the functionality as intended. Sávio undertook the assignment of creating the new “Overview Report” page. His responsibilities included designing mock-ups, and prototypes, and exploring Data Visualization techniques suitable for implementation on this page. Sávio developed two versions of visualization employing the Donut Graph: one featuring attached labels and another with separate labels listed alongside. The complete design of the page was not finalized. The collage below shows some of this work.
