1401 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1402 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1403 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1404 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1405 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1406
1407 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1408 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1409 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1410 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1411 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1412

1414 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
