1892 <h2>May 13, 1999</h2>
1893 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1894 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1895 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1896 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1897
1898 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1899 improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1900 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1901 over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1902 Mesa full time for some time to come.
1903

1905 information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
