Brian Paul0b27ace2003-03-08 17:38:57 +00001477<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1478US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1479Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1480newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1481
1482The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1483improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1484applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1485over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1486Mesa full time for some time to come.
1487
1488For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
1489information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1493This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
1494grateful.
