1192<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1193US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1194Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1195newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1196
1197The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1198improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1199applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1200over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1201Mesa full time for some time to come.
1202
1203For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
1204information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1208This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
1209grateful.
