There are have been multiple templates designed for Impress in LibreOffice and Open Office through the years. Many of them have superior quality than what is currently available at Impress. This Github user compiled and categorized a very impressive list of Impress templates that could be included by default in the Impress install: https://github.com/dohliam/libreoffice-impress-templates I would like to propose that many of these templates (if not all) are included by default in version 7.0.
First thing is license should be compatible. LO license: MPLv2/LGPLv3+ dual license see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GetInvolved License from the site you quoted: The MIT License (MIT) see https://github.com/dohliam/libreoffice-impress-templates/blob/master/LICENSE I'm not a lawyer so can't tell if it's ok. If it's not, you can try to convince the author to change it.
The licenses of the templates are mixed (changes from template to template) ... and not MIT. What is not templates itself is MIT.

It's a matter of checking which ones have compatible licenses and including those...
(In reply to Pedro from comment #4) > It's a matter of checking which ones have compatible licenses and including > those... Indeed, so don't hesitate to check these and indicate which good-looking ones would be compatible.
new templates (for all apps) are very welcome. I would suggested to open an issue at the github accound to ask if the designer is interested in add templates to LibO core and the other templates to the extension.libreoffice.org page. In general I'm intersted in have links to the github page at https://documentation.libreoffice.org. see bug 132034

Keep in mind that templates are perfect suited for extensions. So what we ship is not necessarily the best but ideally shows what's possible.
We discussed the topic in the design meeting. While good templates are appreciated we do have a couple of working examples, done via contest since v5. The better place to share shiny stuff is the extensions site and every input is welcome there.
