1279 <p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
1280 Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1281 <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1282 Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1283 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1284 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1285 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1286 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1287 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1290 <p>Anonymous CVS access is back online so suck up all the bandwidth you can afford.
1291 Note that this is a new archive, so you will need to re-checkout the archive. That
1292 means don't <i>cvs update</i> from a previous download.</p>

1323 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1324 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1325 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1326 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1327
1328 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1329 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1330 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1331 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1332 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1333

1335 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
