1471 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1472 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1473 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1474 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1475
1476 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1477 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1478 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1479 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1480 Mesa full time for some time to come.

1483 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
