This is likely why email addresses were being gathered through a form - they need to be manually add to the group by the group owner / moderator. Purely a case of a design decision Google have made around their G Suite product. :/<div><br></div><div><br></div><div> </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, 16 Oct 2019 at 06:33, Felix Delattre <<a href="mailto:felix.delattre@hotosm.org" target="_blank">felix.delattre@hotosm.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Dear Jiri,<br>

Thanks for the feedback!<br>
<br>
The Tasking Manager is free and open (source) and its development is completely transparent, with a public history and actively seeking collaboration through Github.<br>
<br>
Of course everybody is free to decide, whether to follow the invitation to the TM groups or not! It is unfortunate that it doesn't fulfill your criteria. I can understand your concerns and probably it is best for you to participate through our Github repository, you seem to be well familiar with and everything is kept in a public history.<br>
<br>
The groups are an additional offer for people who don't feel very comfortable with Github and still want to give us input. It is an opportunity for us to connect with the users of the TM. We also figured out that sometimes it is good to talk in person, or over voice and video (we also don't record these meetings).<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Felix<br>
