1464 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1465 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1466 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1467 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1468
1469 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1470 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1471 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1472 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1473 Mesa full time for some time to come.

1476 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
