1407 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1408 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1409 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1410 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1411 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1412
1413 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1414 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1415 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1416 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1417 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1418

1420 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
