Ah, now I get it. I did it a bit differently - I kept all the branding
elements like the motif etc. and replaced the Paris logo with the
LibreOffice logo. So it looks very similar, but (hopefully) helps to
spread the word. Please see ... below.

Since I don't want to add another file to the Wiki (there are enough
outdated templates), I CC our test-list that still features our nice
LibO Attachment Service. Consequently, the mail (and the attachment)
should be available there for download ... and it helps testing the
service ;-)

Here are the archives:

There is no (simple) placeholder for images - you can only set the
"bounding box" for the elements that get added via the "Layout"
selection. If the user choses a layout with two pictures, the bounding
box gets filled with two placeholders.

Concerning the footnote - I omitted the one from the document
properties, since there is a native (but weird) function for it. For
example, users might want to have some kind of section handling
(heading), then the document properties don't work.
Hint: The description how to use the footers is on slide 2 in the
LibOConf presentation (or slide 3 in your adaption), since I've added it
for the presentation authors.

By the way, does anybody know how long to wait if I request approval for
the "project" in the Template Center? I've clicked on it yesterday, but
still no approval ... thus no chance to upload anything. Maybe I did it
wrong, but I was also unable to locate documentation for that.

Cheers,
Christoph
