Brian Paul0b27ace2003-03-08 17:38:57 +00001396<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1397US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1398Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1399newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1400
1401The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1402improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1403applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1404over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1405Mesa full time for some time to come.
