Brian Paul0b27ace2003-03-08 17:38:57 +00001402<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1403US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1404Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1405newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1406
1407The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1408improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1409applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1410over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1411Mesa full time for some time to come.
1412
1413For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
1414information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1418This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
1419grateful.
