1575 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1576 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1577 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1578 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1579
1580 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1581 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1582 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1583 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1584 Mesa full time for some time to come.
