10 <h1>Acknowledgments
</h1>
13 The following individuals and groups are to be acknowledged for their
14 contributions to Mesa over the years.
15 This list is far from complete and somewhat dated, unfortunately.
19 <li>Early Mesa development was done while Brian was part of the
20 <a href=

21 target=
"_parent">SSEC Visualization Project
</a> at the University of
22 Wisconsin. He'd like to thank Bill Hibbard for letting him work on
23 Mesa as part of that project.
26 <li>John Carmack of id Software, Inc. funded Keith Whitwell in
1999 in
27 order to optimize Mesa's vertex transformation module. This is a very
28 substantial piece of work.
31 <li>Precision Insight, Inc., VA Linux Systems, Inc., and most recently,
32 Tungsten Graphics, Inc. have supported the ongoing development of Mesa.
