Brian Paul0b27ace2003-03-08 17:38:57 +0000[diff] [blame]1354<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1355US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1356Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1357newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1358
1359The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1360improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1361applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1362over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1363Mesa full time for some time to come.
1364
1365For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
1366information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
