1354 <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1355 Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1356 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1357 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1358 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1359 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1360 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1395 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1396 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1397 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1398 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1399 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1400
1401 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1402 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1403 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1404 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1405 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1406

1408 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
