1478 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1479 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1480 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1481 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1482
1483 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1484 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1485 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1486 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1487 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1488

1490 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
