1396Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1397<p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1398Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1399and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1400<p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1401my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1402may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1403<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 +00001439<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1440US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1441Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1442newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1443
1444The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1445improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1446applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1447over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1448Mesa full time for some time to come.
1449
1450For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
1451information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1455This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
1456grateful.
