1363US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1364Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1365newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1366
1367The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1368improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1369applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1370over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1371Mesa full time for some time to come.
1372
1373For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
1374information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
