Brian Paul0b27ace2003-03-08 17:38:57 +00001587<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1588US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1589Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1590newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1591
1592The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1593improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1594applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1595over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1596Mesa full time for some time to come.
1597

1599information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
