One Community is solutioneering our future with open source approaches to food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, fulfilled living, stewardship practices and more. Our purpose for doing this is to demonstrate living and creating for The Highest Good of All as a path to positive and permanent global transformation:

One Community’s physical location will forward this movement as the first of many self-replicating teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities to be built around the world. Here is our weekly progress update (#67) covering our development and accomplishments for the week of June 2nd, 2014:
Here is the bullet-point list of this last week’s design and progress discussed in detail in the video above:

We are creating sustainable and free-shared solutions including 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 last week the core team finished the addition of a Technology and Innovation branch to each of our three finished lesson plan mindmaps that you can see here:

One Community is solutioneering our future including 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:
This last week the core team finished adding the diversity details to the organic eggplant section of the large-scale gardening page featuring 8 different varieties of eggplant from around the world plus 1 more. The page now offers over 130 finished plants with cultural considerations, planting guidelines, complete sourcing details and more. Here is a snapshot of the eggplant details that are new:
We also finished another 25% of our large-scale soil amendment strategy webpage, bringing us to 75% completion of that open source guide for soil reparation in areas needing it:
One Community is solutioneering our future including 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 last week the core team finished the initial outline of our open source water heating and cooling webpage sharing the details of our research into this crucial city creation element. This image is an overview of what we learned and the page we are finishing will share complete details of why a combination of a solar collector combined with the cost of a heat pump will more than pay for themselves in a fairly short time through electricity savings:
We also spoke with the county for the property where we’ll be building the 3-dome cluster for the crowdfunding campaign we are creating and began our detailed labor calculations for this build. Here is a snapshot of this work in progress that we will share in detail once we all agree it is complete:
Lastly, we’re getting closer and closer to finalizing the internet strategy that will be necessary to share everything we are creating. Connection options.
Solutioneering Internet
Listed from best to worst, the internet options for any location are:
This simple list is the result of hours of research determining that the details of the first two options are really what an organization open source and free-sharing as much as we are will need. Here are the specifics of the two options:
The first option is 10-40x better and the option we are now seeking to confirm if a realistic implementation option exists for our remote location. Stay tuned as our research continues.
One Community is solutioneering our future including 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:
This last week week Da Ku (Mechanical Engineer) finished the natural pool indoor/outdoor transition point redesign including a materials list and the video and design specifics you see here showing two plexiglass doors that will open. This two-door system creates an additional space in the middle to improve insulative properties and allow for easy cleaning of both sides of the plexiglass to keep them clean and easy to see through. Here is the best summary image and more images are on the natural pool page:
Karl Harris (Architect Drafter, Designer, and founder of Harris Design & Technology Services) also added the stairs, walls, and cupola details for the north-view CAD elevations:
One Community is solutioneering our future including 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:
This last week Guy Fraser (Software Developer and Information Architect) completed an extensive analysis of wordpress (the same platform this website is created on) as a platform for collaboration for both the Highest Good Network and the global plant database that Guy has been working on for months. Here is a screenshot of the page that the core team created to share his research and findings so others can benefit from this too:
