Agree. It's one thing for an OSMF working group to use a closed 
source/siloed product internally, but quite another to attempt to engage 
with the community via such a product.

I am not surprised when a commercial company like Tom Tom does that 
without a second thought, but I would expect more from an OSMF working 
group.

Please find a way for non-Google users to participate in this survey, or 
your results will be biased to the point of un-suitability because they 
will lack responses from people who'd rather not engage with Google, 
i.e. the whole "communication behaviours" of this group of people would 
not be represented.

Bye
Frederik
