1596 <p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
1597 Inc. effective October,
1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.
</p>
1598 <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1599 Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1600 and OpenGL on Linux.
</p>
1601 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1602 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1603 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms
</p>
1604 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep
6 and won't be reading email until then.

1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1641 US$
10,
000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1642 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL
3D graphics library and id's
1643 newest game, Quake
3 Arena, will use Mesa as the
3D renderer on Linux.
1645 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1646 improve performance on
3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1647 applications using Mesa
3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1648 over Mesa
3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1649 Mesa full time for some time to come.
