I think having a Code of Conduct is a good idea. I respect Mauricio's opinion, but in many otherwise good communities a minority of people sometimes fail to be as kind and respectful as they should, and I think formalizing the notion that "This is not how we do things here" is a good idea.

Indeed, there are two sides of "hackerdom" which may apply to an organization such as FSFE; one, that of technical insight and building cool things; two, that of having strong opinions of the right way to do things and low opinions of people who think or do otherwise. And I think it's easier for a moderator to say "Please respect our Code of Conduct" than "please don't be unfriendly/[ ]-ist/personal/unpleasant".
        Are you in favor or against having this Code of Conduct?
I wonder if the points "be collaborative" and "be open" are too verbose or too specific. Maybe they could be subsumed into a single point, "be constructive", maybe.
