Brian Paul0b27ace2003-03-08 17:38:57 +00001426<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1427US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1428Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1429newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1430
1431The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1432improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1433applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1434over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1435Mesa full time for some time to come.
1436
1437For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
1438information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1442This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
1443grateful.
