| 17 | <li>Early Mesa development was done while Brian was part of the |
| 18 | <A HREF="http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/vis.html" |
| 19 | target="_parent">SSEC Visualization Project</A> at the University of |
| 20 | Wisconsin. He'd like to thank Bill Hibbard for letting him work on |
| 21 | Mesa as part of that project. |
| 22 | <br> |
| 23 | <br> |
| 24 | <li>John Carmack of id Software, Inc. funded Keith Whitwell in 1999 in |
| 25 | order to optimize Mesa's vertex transformation module. This is a very |
| 26 | substantial piece of work. |
| 27 | <br> |
| 28 | <br> |
| 29 | <li>Precision Insight, Inc., VA Linux Systems, Inc., and most recently, |
| 30 | Tungsten Graphics, Inc. have supported the ongoing development of Mesa. |
