1029<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1030US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1031Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1032newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1033
1034The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1035improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1036applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1037over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1038Mesa full time for some time to come.
1039

1041information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
