1287 <p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
1288 Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
1289 <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1290 Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1291 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1292 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1293 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1294 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1295 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1298 <p>Anonymous CVS access is back online so suck up all the bandwidth you can afford.
1299 Note that this is a new archive, so you will need to re-checkout the archive. That
1300 means don't <i>cvs update</i> from a previous download.</p>

1331 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1332 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1333 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1334 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1335
1336 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1337 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1338 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1339 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1340 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1341
1342 For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org.  For more
1343 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.

1347 This donation from John/id is very generous.  Keith and I are very
1348 grateful.
