1509 and <code>MesaDemos-3.1beta3.tar.gz</code>,
1510 that seem to be... yes, I've just received confirmation from the beta center, they
1511 are indeed the <b>THIRD</b> beta release of Mesa 3.1! Happy Days. Happy Days. Thanks

1515 <p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
1516 Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1517 <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1518 Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1519 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1520 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1521 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1522 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1523 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1558 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1559 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1560 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1561 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1562 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1563
1564 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1565 improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1566 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1567 over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1568 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1569

1571 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1573 --------------------------------

1575 This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
1576 grateful.
