1340 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1341 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1342 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1377 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1378 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1379 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1380 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1381 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1382
1383 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1384 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1385 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1386 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1387 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1388
1389 For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org.  For more
1390 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1394 This donation from John/id is very generous.  Keith and I are very
1395 grateful.
