Brian Paul0b27ace2003-03-08 17:38:57 +0000[diff] [blame]1344<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1345US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1346Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1347newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1348
1349The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1350improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1351applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1352over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1353Mesa full time for some time to come.
1354
1355For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
1356information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
