1490 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1491 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1492 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1493 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1494
1495 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1496 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1497 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1498 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1499 Mesa full time for some time to come.
