1728 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1729 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1730 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1731 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1732
1733 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1734 improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1735 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1736 over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1737 Mesa full time for some time to come.
