Brian Paul0b27ace2003-03-08 17:38:57 +00001830<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1831US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1832Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1833newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1834
1835The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1836improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1837applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1838over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1839Mesa full time for some time to come.
1840
1841For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
1842information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1846This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
1847grateful.
