1914 Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
1915 and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1916 <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1917 my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1918 may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>

1955 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1956 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1957 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1958 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1960 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1961 improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1962 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1963 over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1964 Mesa full time for some time to come.
