1802 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1803 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1804 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1805 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1806 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1841 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1842 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1843 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1844 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1845 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1846
1847 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1848 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1849 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1850 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1851 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1852

1854 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1858 This donation from John/id is very generous.  Keith and I are very
1859 grateful.
