1121<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1122US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1123Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1124newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1125
1126The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1127improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1128applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1129over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1130Mesa full time for some time to come.
1131

1133information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
