1625 <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
1626 Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1627 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1628 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1629 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1630 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
1631 <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

1634 <p>Anonymous CVS access is back online so suck up all the bandwidth you can afford.
1635 Note that this is a new archive, so you will need to re-checkout the archive. That
1636 means don't <i>cvs update</i> from a previous download.</p>

1667 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1668 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1669 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1670 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1671
1672 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1673 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1674 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1675 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1676 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1677
1678 For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org.  For more
1679 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
