1169<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1170US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1171Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1172newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1173
1174The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1175improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1176applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1177over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1178Mesa full time for some time to come.
1179
1180For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
1181information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1186grateful.
