Brian Paul0b27ace2003-03-08 17:38:57 +00001593<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1594US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1595Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1596newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1597
1598The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1599improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1600applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1601over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1602Mesa full time for some time to come.
1603

1605information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
