1286 and <code>MesaDemos-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>,
1287 that seem to be... yes, I've just received confirmation from the beta center, they
1288 are indeed the <b>THIRD</b> beta release of Mesa 3.1! Happy Days. Happy Days. Thanks

1292 <p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
1293 Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1294 <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1295 Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1296 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1297 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1298 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1299 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1300 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1335 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1336 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1337 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1338 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1339 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1340
1341 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1342 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1343 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1344 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1345 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1346
1347 For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org.  For more
1348 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1352 This donation from John/id is very generous.  Keith and I are very
1353 grateful.
