Brian Paul0b27ace2003-03-08 17:38:57 +00001616<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1617US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1618Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1619newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1620
1621The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1622improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1623applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1624over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1625Mesa full time for some time to come.
