1756Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1757<p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1758Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1759and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1760<p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1761my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1762may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1763<p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

Brian Paul0b27ace2003-03-08 17:38:57 +00001799<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1800US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1801Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1802newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1803
1804The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1805improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1806applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1807over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1808Mesa full time for some time to come.
1809
1810For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
1811information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1815This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
1816grateful.
