Brian Paul0b27ace2003-03-08 17:38:57 +0000[diff] [blame]1333<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1334US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1335Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1336newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1337
1338The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1339improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1340applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1341over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1342Mesa full time for some time to come.
1343
1344For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
1345information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1347--------------------------------
1348
1349This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
1350grateful.
