1415Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1416<p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1417Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1418and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1419<p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1420my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1421may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1422<p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1426Note that this is a new archive, so you will need to re-checkout the archive. That
1427means don't <i>cvs update</i> from a previous download.</p>

Brian Paul0b27ace2003-03-08 17:38:57 +00001458<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1459US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1460Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1461newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1462
1463The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1464improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1465applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1466over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1467Mesa full time for some time to come.
1468
1469For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
1470information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1474This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
1475grateful.
