1750Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1751<p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1752Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1753and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1754<p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1755my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1756may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1757<p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

Brian Paul0b27ace2003-03-08 17:38:57 +00001793<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1794US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1795Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1796newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1797
1798The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1799improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1800applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1801over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1802Mesa full time for some time to come.
1803
1804For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
1805information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1809This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
1810grateful.
