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.
