1484 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1485 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1486 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1487 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1488
1489 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1490 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1491 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1492 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1493 Mesa full time for some time to come.

1496 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
