1171and <a href="ftp://ftp.mesa3d.org/mesa/beta/MesaDemos-3.1beta3.tar.gz">MesaDemos-3.1beta3.tar.gz</a>,
1172that seem to be... yes, I've just received confirmation from the beta center, they
1173are indeed the <b>THIRD</b> beta release of Mesa 3.1! Happy Days. Happy Days. Thanks
1174Keith Whitwell for preparing these for us during Brian's absence.</p>

1177<p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
1178Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1179<p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1180Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1181and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1182<p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1183my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1184may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1185<p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1221<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1222US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1223Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1224newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1225
1226The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1227improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1228applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1229over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1230Mesa full time for some time to come.
1231
1232For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
1233information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1237This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
1238grateful.
