1227<p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1228Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1229and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1230<p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1231my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1232may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>

1269<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1270US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1271Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1272newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1273
1274The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1275improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1276applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1277over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1278Mesa full time for some time to come.
1279

1281information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1285This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
