1239<p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
1240Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1241<p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1242Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1243and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1244<p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1245my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1246may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1247<p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1283<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1284US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1285Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1286newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1287
1288The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1289improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1290applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1291over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1292Mesa full time for some time to come.
1293
1294For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
1295information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1299This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
1300grateful.
