Brian Paul0b27ace2003-03-08 17:38:57 +00001535<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1536US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1537Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1538newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1539
1540The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1541improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1542applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1543over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1544Mesa full time for some time to come.
1545
1546For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
1547information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1551This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
1552grateful.
