1404are indeed the <b>THIRD</b> beta release of Mesa 3.1! Happy Days. Happy Days. Thanks

1409Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1410<p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1411Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1412and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1413<p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1414my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1415may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1416<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 +00001452<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1453US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1454Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1455newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1456
1457The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1458improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1459applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1460over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1461Mesa full time for some time to come.
1462
1463For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
1464information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1466--------------------------------
1467
1468This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
1469grateful.
