1371US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1372Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1373newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1374
1375The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1376improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1377applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1378over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1379Mesa full time for some time to come.
1380

1382information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
