| LesGV.org, an answer to Big Tech (G.A.F.A.M.) | LesGV.org can replace parts of G.A.F.A.M. one user at a time in an auto-deterministic manner. | true | 2022-05-11T09:39:32.179Z | markdown | 2022-05-07T21:23:00.303Z |
LesGV.org offers one account for services and communities in multimedia web publishing, e-commerce, social media, applications and computing respectively under the domain names GoogLesGV.com, AppLesGV.com, Facecorps.com, Aizuwa.com, and Microlesoft.com. Remember "Communities Open to Multitudes" of "com".
GAFAM is an acronym that refers to Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft: in other words, the giants of the Internet that leave us all small. Here, we would like to propose an alternative.
We adhere to the Contract for the Web. The way we do it is already what we do.
GoogLesGV.com: All Things Website-Related
Googlesgv.com handles everything public-facing institutional website-related for Villagers including directory of Villagers, tools for website authoring, a search engine, a news portal, and images search, videos, etc. The name is a concatenation of the generic term googol and LesGV and not something else.
Our collaboration with ApostropheCMS could give meaning to this effort.
Alternative name: googlehood.com
The logo for this service could be a letter G with a Robin-Hood hat, a bow and a quiver of arrows.
AppLesGV.com: Integrated Application Environment
Applesgv.com provides a central launch bar and menu for different and useful applications. Villagers work with files, emails, contacts, calendar, passwords, etc. This is also where the core accounts may reside. The name is the concatenation of the generic term application and LesGV, and not something else.
Currently, we have Apache Keycloak identity and login-management software behind appgv.com that needs to be configured. We would need this to be like a destop environment, maybe, or something straight-forward. Main purpos is user-profile management and access to other applications with one-click links. We will start with webmail.
Alternative names: appgv.com
The logo could be a house with a bit taken out of it.
FaceCorps.com: Social Media
FaceCorps.com provides social media for Villagers.
com.lesgrandsvoisins.com Discourse software could very well be this website.
Alternative names: facesgv.com and facevillage.com
The logo could be a mix between Facebook and Peace Corps. Might be interesting to have the notion of substantial body behind the faces.
AizuWa.com: e-Commerce Near and Far
AizuWa.com is a platform for buying and selling with shipping and customer service.
We have yet to implement an e-commerce solution, but the service is to help Villagers with all of their e-commerce work, whatever approach and partners they choose.
Alternative names: amazesgv.com
The logo could be two buildings, or a village with an arrow-smile from one building to the next.
MicroLeSoft.com: ProAm Digital Mastery
MicroLeSoft.com provides best-effort mastery of computer stuff though professional and amateur help.
I'm not auite sure how to fashon this yet. I, myself, through mann.fr, have a lot to offer, my I think this might maybe be some kind of user-support hub... IDK. The important things to support with some kind of website activity is individual mastery and creativity, maybe with free software.
Alternative names: mychoicesoft.com and microsgv.com
The logo could be just the word Microlesoft, but maybe with something that would imply craftsmanship, free software and digital creation.

As much as it's a wink, it's a nice categorization of our different digital services. As all services are under LesGrandsVoisins.com with the supervision and governance of Les Grands Voisins, we are consistent with ourselves and have no interest in sharing our data with the outside world normally. From the user's point of view, the navigation between the domain names is intended to be transparent.
The names don’t have to be perfectly remembered. They only need to be strong strongly plausible. They are alternative domain names for services already provided by AGoodVillage.com.
