  1046. <p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
  1047. Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
  1048. <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
  1049. Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
  1050. and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
  1051. <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
  1052. my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
  1053. may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
  1054. <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

  1057. <p>Anonymous CVS access is back online so suck up all the bandwidth you can afford.
  1058. Note that this is a new archive, so you will need to re-checkout the archive. That
  1059. means don't <i>cvs update</i> from a previous download.</p>

  1090. <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
  1091. US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
  1092. Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
  1093. newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
  1094. The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
  1095. improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
  1096. applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
  1097. over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
  1098. Mesa full time for some time to come.
  1099. For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
  1100. information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
  1101. --------------------------------
  1102. This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
  1103. grateful.
