1452 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1453 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1454 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1455 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1456
1457 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1458 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1459 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1460 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1461 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1462

1464 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
