1023<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1024US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1025Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1026newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1027
1028The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1029improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1030applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1031over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1032Mesa full time for some time to come.
1033
1034For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
1035information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
