It's a box with a very light lamp inside. It will create a picture on a wall (like a over head projector). e.g. epson emp 600.
Maybe beamer is the "german" word for it, like handy for mobile phone...

greetings sebastian

A device to get people to the LinuxTag (or at least to your talk :) really, really fast.

GIMP at LinuxTag 2006?

Hi there,

I met Wolfgang Drotschmann from the LinuxTag e.V. at the Chemnitzer LinuxTage last weekend. He kindly asked, if the developers or users of the GIMP want to present the project at the upcoming LinuxTag in Wiesbaden. The LinuxTag will help us of providing chairs, tables, beamer etc.

So, is there somebody who wants to volunteer for this (incl. planning and communicating with the LinuxTag e.V.)? Wolfgang gave me an e-mail address where we still can announce our project and also request for help:
projects@linuxtag.org

I would volunteer, but unfortunately I'm not in Germany at this time, so I'm not able to drive to Wiesbaden.

Sebastian Laube, an enthusiastic GIMP user (who also helped to answer lots of user questions at the Chemnitzer LinuxTage) would like to help in Wiesbaden.

Greetings,

Roman Joost

thanks for everyones response to my question.

in united states, most typically "beamer" is used as a nickname for a certain type of car and probably there is other slang terminology that this term is used for.

overhead projector makes more sense in this sentence than all of the other options.

thanks
