May2024 - MUSIC 420 - 2025 - Community Event Planning and Execution

Our organization is passionate about promoting aritists (musical artists of course) while at the same time creating great social, economic and personal relationships with venues, vendors, fans and the cities, towns and communities we are part of. One issue we came across recently has emboldened us to make a positive change around a well known event in Vancouver BC Canada. For 30 years there has been a "Cannabis Awareness and Protest" on the streets and in the parks of Vancouver BC on April 20th. Every year this event has brought together about 200,000 people in support of this cause; the group is not shrinking, it is growing, and the issue in turn is also growing. This event has never been sanctioned by the city and has created tensions and problems for the city, their constituents, and venues all throughout Vancouver. Every time the city takes steps to minimize the event the following year the protesters take larger and more impactful steps that cause more issues. Our Goal is to change this "issue" and problem and take the fact that 200,000 people come out to support it and give both the city and the protesters a better platform to connect. We are creating a 50+ venue event to be staged over 3 days of music celebration with interludes of speaking to increase awareness about the cannabis cause. The key is that 100% of our events will be properly permitted, patrolled, and organized so that all those involved are safe and follow the law, this way giving a great platform for both the city of Vancouver to be happy with as well as those that wish to make their voices heard on this particular topic. We will work with students to design a weekend long event that raises awareness and encourages changes in attitudes / behaviours. While at the same time follows all the needs and requirements of the City of Vancouver and their constituents. In collaboration with key contacts at our organization, students will design and carry out the event planning and advertising campaign strategy around MUSIC 420. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Familiarizing themselves with the social cause, our mission and goals. Familiarizing themselves with the both sides of the situation including all the needs and requirements of the City of Vancouver, the Parks board of Vancouver, and The Special Events board of Vancouver and all of their missions and goals. Identifying groups that the campaign will target. Identifying ideal outcomes and key performance indicators (KPIs). Identifying potential sponsors and partners who can support our campaign. Creating a promotion and marketing plan. Bonus steps in the process would also include: Assisting in the development of leaflets, posters, videos, and / or brochures. Making direct connections with all levels of government and seeing what barriers community engagement projects like this run into every time

May2024 - Project Manager

We are looking for students to play a role as the student team’s project manager. A student in this position will understand the logistical aspects of the a Team Project Manager position. This position is very key in our group and must be looked at seriously by all members that apply, We are willing to look at an entire team and would prefer at least 2-3 members to spread out the duties more easily, as we do have a project development that literally runs 24/7. Students in this position will overlook the team’s project through a logistical lens Students will help facilitate the team events, meetings and individual projects. The student will play a key role in helping the CEO create a more efficient work process. The student should be able to create the following items Project Overview The student needs to connect with the CEO and Team leads to get an overview of the entire project from each member's perspective and using all the information given write a detailed overview that looks at the project from a global perspective Project Schedule The student needs to connect will all members of the various teams to understand where each section of the project is in regards to completion and issues. With the information gathered from the communication, the Project Manager needs to create a realistic Project Schedule Individual Schedule of MVPs The student needs to connect with the teams of each MVP and communicate with them to define the current position of the MVPs and the issues each may be facing and create a realistic schedule to complete each MVP Project Manager Onboarding Documentation The student needs to connect with all memmbers of all teams to go through how the onboarding process went with them and gleam how the onboarding process could be better arranged and made easier for new members. As a Project manager all these clearly defined steps should already be known by a project manager, but are placed here simply for the benefit of the Riipen group to see how the student could complete each of these tasks if they had zero experience in project management, however I do not expect someone with zero past experience in leadership or management positions would do well in this project. The following assignments are prepared for partner review and feedback: 1) Statement of work (SOW) - project outline and plan 2) Current State Analysis - environmental scan, competitor analysis, company analysis, mission/vision 3) Strategic Plan - SWOT matrix, Strategic Recommendations, Business Objectives, Marketing Strategy, Revenue Model 4) Operations Plan - Marketing Plan, Supply Chain Plan, Human Resources Plan, IT Plan, CSR Plan, Financial Model Forecast, Funding Strategies, Risk Management 5) Executive Presentation

Our site basis will be Next.JS, Typescript, with Tailwind CSS, we also use React.JS, Prisma, and Next.AUTH. we have API Integrations, a 256bit blockchain based chat and python AI integration. This project will involve several different steps for students, including: Researching the current status of the development and understanding where the student and this project fits amist the development process.

May2024 - 256bit E2E Blockchain Chat Function Resource and Design ("SESSION" APP)

We are a music platform that connects fans, venues, and vendors. We need a 100% and preferably based on blockchain 256bit E2E encrypted chat model that can have groups, individuals and also prevents even the host from watching the chat we are also looking for a way to ensure that your IP can be hidden like session chat does. We expect that it will be based on the chat model session as that is currently the only chat that implements all these facets but they do not at present have an api. The idea of building our own api or following their lead is completely fine. The requirements stay the same privacy is a key pillar of our value system and complete and total chat privacy for the owner of the chat is necessary. You and your team will need to do the research first and foremost taking into consideration the previous research done by other members and provide a very detailed overview of the plan ahead for the progression of this section of our platform. As this is such a key of our platform the research and development section of this is just as important as the development. It WILL include delving into the crypto and block chain basis of session chat seeing how they accomplish the task (as they are 100% open source) and finding how we could implement their tech or how we should develop our own so we can have as secure or MORE secure communication for our users. This should be noted as PRIMARILY A RESEARCH BASED PROJECT... If there is time AFTER the RESEARCH students will begin development on the chat backend coding that will follow the paperwork documentation that will need to be extremely detailed and clear in all sections. Documentation is ESSENTIAL and a primary need of this project. It MUST be completed in advance and during the research no matter what negative or positive end results are found they must ALL be documented so we can understand the limitations and impossibilities encountered with this project. Documentations is NOT an afterthought after coding in this situation. We would like to work with students to research and design a general chat interface. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Conducting background research on the session platform Research and define how we can implement the session platform within the platform Creating a very clear and well defined solution in writing for the problem so multiple teams can use the documentation to continue the project after the team has moved on. Producing a wireframe or mock-up of the resulting system’s user interface. Testing the design with users and making improvements. Bonus steps in the process would also include: Prototyping multiple possible chat function designs.
