1369 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1370 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1371 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1372 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1373 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1374
1375 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1376 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1377 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1378 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1379 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1380

1382 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1386 This donation from John/id is very generous.  Keith and I are very
