1361 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1362 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1363 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1364 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1365 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1366
1367 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1368 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1369 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1370 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1371 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1372
1373 For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org.  For more
1374 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1378 This donation from John/id is very generous.  Keith and I are very
1379 grateful.
