1316<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1317US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1318Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1319newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1320
1321The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1322improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1323applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1324over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1325Mesa full time for some time to come.
1326
1327For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
1328information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1332This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
