1325 <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1326 US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1327 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1328 newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1330 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1331 improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1332 applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1333 over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1334 Mesa full time for some time to come.
