  1050. <p>I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position with Precision Insight,
  1051. Inc. effective October, 1999. I'll be leaving Avid Technology in September.</p>
  1052. <p>I've been working on Mesa in my spare time for over five years. With Precision
  1053. Insight I now have the opportunity to devote my full attention to advancing Mesa
  1054. and OpenGL on Linux.</p>
  1055. <p>While I'll be focused on Linux, the X Window System, and hardware acceleration,
  1056. my work will continue to be open sourced and available to any other programmers who
  1057. may want to contribute to it, or use it for other projects or platforms</p>
  1058. <p>PS: I'm going to be traveling until Sep 6 and won't be reading email until then.</p>

  1094. <pre>May 1999 - John Carmack of id Software, Inc. has made a donation of
  1095. US$10,000 to the Mesa project to support its continuing development.
  1096. Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL 3D graphics library and id's
  1097. newest game, Quake 3 Arena, will use Mesa as the 3D renderer on Linux.
  1098. The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
  1099. improve performance on 3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
  1100. applications using Mesa 3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
  1101. over Mesa 3.0. The donation will allow Keith to continue working on
  1102. Mesa full time for some time to come.
  1103. For more information about Mesa see www.mesa3d.org. For more
  1104. information about id Software, Inc. see www.idsoftware.com.
  1105. --------------------------------
  1106. This donation from John/id is very generous. Keith and I are very
  1107. grateful.
