1255<p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1256Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1257and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1258<p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1259my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1260may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>

1297<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1298US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1299Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1300newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1301
1302The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1303improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1304applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1305over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1306Mesa full time for some time to come.
1307
1308For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
1309information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1313This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
1314grateful.
