2289 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
2290 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
2291 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
2292 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
2293 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

2328 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
2329 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
2330 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
2331 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
2332 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
2333
2334 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
2335 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
2336 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
2337 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
2338 Mesa full time for some time to come.
2339
2340 For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org.  For more
2341 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

2345 This donation from John/id is very generous.  Keith and I are very
