1570and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
1571<p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
1572my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
1573may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>

1610<pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
1611US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
1612Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
1613newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
1614
1615The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1616improve performance on 3d hardware.  Thanks to Keith's work, many
1617applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1618over Mesa 3.0.  The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
1619Mesa full time for some time to come.
1620

1622information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
