1899 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1900 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1901 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1902 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1903 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1904
1905 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1906 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1907 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1908 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1909 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1910
1911 For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org.  For more
1912 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1916 This donation from John/id is very generous.  Keith and I are very
