I think this should be done per room/project basis if admin prefers so I
can choose whether to participate in that room or not. Your links are
jokes (open statement and a joke) and if you have issues with them, I
believe you are not familiar with cultural differences or not
understainding writer intentions.

Some cultures has really open joke format just as some cultures are
using cursing words openly, so should I be offended if someone mention 'f*ck'
because his/her projector is not working or because he tried to visually
explain his problem?

FOSDEM is open conference and if CoC (good name btw) is going to be
enforced, what to expect in a years after that? Dress code or shaved
faces, because someone finds that offending?
