[libreoffice-design] Notes from the ESC call

The Document foundation holds weekly ESC (Engineering Steering Committee)
calls, and today happened to be my first time on this call.
Here's what's relevant to us:

About document themes: One of the ideas for implementing theme
functionality without themes actually being included in the ODF standard is
to have templates use a standard set of styles. The user would be able to
apply styles from these templates on his document. Native theme support
would, of course, be preferrable. Neither of these is being worked on yet,
though.

About icons: To be able to include the Gnome icons Alex brought up, we need
them to be released under the MPLv2 license (or public domain/CC0).

About templates: It looks like Alex's templates will be included with
LibreOffice once we have the new template dialog, but we will need more, as
the current selection is quite bad. How about starting a call for
submissions of CC0 templates? We'd need some basic guidelines for that and
some publicity. What do you think? How should we go about it?
