Brian Paul0b27ace2003-03-08 17:38:57 +0000[diff] [blame]1336<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1337US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1338Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1339newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1340
1341The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1342improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1343applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1344over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1345Mesa full time for some time to come.
1346
1347For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
1348information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1350--------------------------------

1352This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
1353grateful.
