1267 Mesa3D website at sourceforge.<br>
1268 After 3.2 is wrapped up I hope to release 3.3 beta 1 soon afterward.</p>

1286 <p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
1287 Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1288 <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1289 Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1290 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1291 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1292 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1293 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1294 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1329 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1330 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1331 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1332 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1333 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1334
1335 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1336 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1337 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1338 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1339 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1340
1341 For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org.  For more
1342 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1346 This donation from John/id is very generous.  Keith and I are very
1347 grateful.
