1822 <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1823 Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1824 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1825 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1826 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1827 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1828 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1863 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1864 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1865 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1866 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1867 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1868
1869 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1870 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1871 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1872 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1873 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1874

1876 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1880 This donation from John/id is very generous.  Keith and I are very
1881 grateful.
