Hi Andreas,
I complete share your opinion/PoV.
It's good to have some kind of "code of conduct" to mention to people
when they register for an event/centos dojo, but as you said it too, we
never had any issue during previous events/dojos.
So my opinion would be the same as yours (mention it but don't "write it
on every possible wall" :-)
