[depricated] Public Corsica instance for the ambient Mozilla office

moz-corsica

Public Corsica instance for Mozilla office and home offices.

If you are at a Mozilla office, this project is what powers the content on the flat screen TVs throughout the office.

Suggesting New Content

Want to suggest new content? Please file an issue, email the maintainers directly, or open a pull request to mozilla/moz-corsica that modifies the state.json file.

Connecting a Client

Navigate to corsica.mozilla.io in your web browser and you should see the Corsica logo (C with a lightning bolt) and a message saying "I am a name". File an issue on this repository or email the maintainers directly with the following:

• the name of the screen
• where it's physically located
• what content should be on it
• any other special requests

and we can remotely configure the screen.

Alternatively, you can manually configure a window by open the Web Console (Tools-> Web Developer-> Web Console) and run the following commands, substituting your preferred values for name and tags:

config.name = "$the-desired-name";
config.tags = ["ambient"];
writeConfig();

Refresh the page in your browser. Congrats! You should see it identify as the name you set, and start receiving content destined for the tags. Go into fullscreen mode (type f) and enjoy!

About the Name and Tag config options

The name option is the name of your screen; it can be any unique name (eg: "abby-laptop" or "matt-kitchen"). The names in the state.json file (eg: "pdx-ambient1") are intended for addressing multiple screens in a location.

You can choose from the following tags for your screen:

• airmo (Air Mozilla)
• ambient
• mtv (Mountain View)
• paris
• pdx-eng (Portland Engineering)
• servicedesk
• tor (Toronto)
• whimsy (Fun things!)
• ldn (London)
• yvr (Vancouver)
• tpe (Taipei)
• tpe-lab (Taipei Hasal Lab)

Most office displays are set to at least ambient, and often also whimsy.

Development Guide

To add features to Corsica itself, you probably want to work on mozilla/corsica.

To develop and test this project, you'll need Node.js.

Bootstrap the development environment by running script/bootstrap.

Start a local HTTP server by running npm start. Then, connect to the server at the address listed.

moz-corsica's Issues

add https://fundraising.mozilla.org/ to the rotation

https://fundraising.mozilla.org/ doesn't read well from 10 feet. We should look into blowing up the hero to full screen before we put it into general rotation

Hello,

I'd love to add the following tweets to the Coursica for Pocket:

Switch remaining resources to HTTPS and enable new force_https option

The upstream mozilla/corsica#52 PR has now merged.

Next steps are:

• updating state.json to use all HTTPS links
• getting a new upstream mozilla/corsica release pushed to NPM
• deploying that release on the Mozilla instance, with the force_https option set to true

Travis CI free usage ends Dec 3; mozilla repos should switch to other CI platforms

We're opening this issue because your project has used Travis CI within the last 6 months. If you have already migrated off it, you can close and ignore this issue.

Travis CI is ending free builds on public repositories. travis-ci.com stopped providingthem in early November, and travis-ci.org will stop after December 31, 2020. To avoid disruptions to your workflows, you must migrate to another CI service.

For production use cases, we recommend switching to CircleCI. This service is already widely used within Mozilla. There is a guide to migrating from Travis CI to CircleCI available here.

For non production use cases, we recommend either CircleCI or Github Actions. There is a guide to migrating from Travis CI to Github Actions available here. Github Actions usage within Mozilla is new, and you will have to work with our github administrators to enable specific actions following this process.

If you have any questions, reach out in #github-admin:mozilla.org on matrix.

Weighting/prioritization for tags

Tags are great. However there is certain content (say release related information) that I think should be displayed more frequently on the boards than fun content (say whimsy - I know, blasphemy!). It would be nice to be able to weight/prioritize the content somehow.

Remove old "happy tweets" and add new ones

Please remove the older "happy tweets" presentation(s) and add the new one from https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1V-_0jcHwRyo48NvW-5pJFkb3w31J2i97U824GK4x9uw/edit?usp=sharing

Update nice things stream

get some mozlandia stuff up there

there's lots of content from mozlandia. lets get some of it in rotation

Transit dashboards for SF

Info from Nextbus.com on approaching Muni light rail trains for the KT-Ingleside/Third St. and N-Judah lines (both directions) at the Embarcadero & Fulsom light rail stop outside the office.

I'm sure there are some bus routes important to SFO's mozillians, but I don't know what they are.

Upcoming Caltrain departures from 4th & King.

Highway travel times from here to: Mt. View, Oakland, Berkeley, San Leandro, Walnut Creek, Concord and Richmond.

Plug in request from Richard

New clients in Taipei

• the name of the screen: whitman-debra, feron, please it rename it to something sane.
• where it's physically located: 4F & 5F TPE seating area but not pointing to any seats -- feel free to configure animation on.
• what content should be on it: ambient, platform. I am not sure about other content.
• any other special requests: maybe teach us how to get a tpe channel? I am interested in putting something like weather on it...

Please add a LICENSE file

This repo is public, but it's not easy to find out how I'm allowed to use or share the code. Could you add a LICENSE file to make it easier for users to understand how you'd like it to be used?

http://choosealicense.com/ might be helpful here.

Thanks!

Running corsica locally modifies state.json

If I run the local node server, state.json ends up being modified locally. It looks like it's been re-indented from 2-space indentation to 4-space indentation.

Let's Encrypt statistics graph is moving

The LE stats graph at Plot.ly referenced in https://github.com/mozilla/moz-corsica/blob/master/state.json#L28 is about to stop updating, as I'm changing how/where those stats get generated.

Instead of pushing the data to Plot.ly and having clients load there, it'll be maintained within the letsencrypt.org webserver and loaded there. This change should soon take effect at https://letsencrypt.org/stats/ . A demo is online at https://ct.tacticalsecret.com/

Since you only want the graph, and I only want to maintain a single copy of the appropriate drawing code for said graph, would it be best if I add another page at letsencrypt.org that shows only the graph with no branding/headers? I can put it at something like https://letsencrypt.org/stats-blank/ for convenience in loading.

Please document a way to deploy moz-corsica on system without dev console access

In the Paris office, we have a Panasonic tv and it does not seem easy to get access to the developer console.

It would be great to have a way to set up moz-corsica with a few lines of code and just publish it online.

Switch whattrainisitnow.com to HTTPS

Since as of mozilla/whatthetrain#21 it's available over HTTPS:
https://whattrainisitnow.com/

CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md file missing

As of January 1 2019, Mozilla requires that all GitHub projects include this CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md file in the project root. The file has two parts:

1. Required Text - All text under the headings Community Participation Guidelines and How to Report, are required, and should not be altered.
2. Optional Text - The Project Specific Etiquette heading provides a space to speak more specifically about ways people can work effectively and inclusively together. Some examples of those can be found on the Firefox Debugger project, and Common Voice. (The optional part is commented out in the raw template file, and will not be visible until you modify and uncomment that part.)

If you have any questions about this file, or Code of Conduct policies and procedures, please see Mozilla-GitHub-Standards or email [email protected].

Howto is necessary

Looks like a cool project, that's useful only to web developers who actually know how to use and configure it.
The instructions from the readme might be good for corsica developers but that's it.
A real howto-use-it is necessary.
