1388US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1389Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1390newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1391
1392The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1393improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1394applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1395over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1396Mesa full time for some time to come.
