2294 <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
2295 Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
2296 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
2297 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
2298 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
2299 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
2300 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

2335 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
2336 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
2337 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
2338 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
2339 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
2340
2341 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
2342 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
2343 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
2344 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
2345 Mesa full time for some time to come.
2346
2347 For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org.  For more
2348 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

2352 This donation from John/id is very generous.  Keith and I are very
