Wisconsin. He'd like to thank Bill Hibbard for letting him work on
Mesa as part of that project.
- John Carmack of id Software, Inc. funded Keith Whitwell in 1999 in
order to optimize Mesa's vertex transformation module. This is a very
substantial piece of work.
- Precision Insight, Inc., VA Linux Systems, Inc., and most recently,
Tungsten Graphics, Inc. have supported the ongoing development of Mesa.
- The Mesa
project is hosted by
- alt.software contributed the Direct3D driver.
- Bernd Barsuhn wrote the evaluator code for (splines,
patches) in Mesa.
- Bernhard Tschirren wrote the Allegro DJGPP driver.
- Bogdan Sikorski wrote the GLU NURBS and polygon tessellator
in Mesa.
- Charlie Wallace wrote the MS-DOS driver.
- CJ Beyer was the www.mesa3d.org webmaster.
- Darren Abbott provided the OS/2 driver.
- David Bucciarelli wrote and maintained the 3Dfx Glide
driver. Thousands of Linux/Quake players thank David!
- Gareth Hughes wrote new GLU 1.2 Polygon Tessellation code
(now superceded by SGI SI GLU).
- Holger Waechtler contributed AMD 3DNow! assembly code which
accelerates vertex transformation in Mesa 3.1. Holger also implemented
the GL_EXT_texture_env_combine extension.
- Jeroen van der Zijp and Thorsten Ohl contributed the
Xt/Motif widget code.
- John Stone provided the multi-threading support in Mesa 3.0.

accelerates vertex transformation in Mesa 3.x.
- Jouk Jansen contributed and continues to maintain the VMS
support.
- Karl Schultz has been maintaining the Windows driver.
- Keith Whitwell has made extension contributions to Mesa
since 1999.
- Kendall Bennett wrote the SciTech MGL driver.
- Klaus Niederkrueger contributed many improvements to Mesa's
software rasterizer.
- Mark Kilgard contributed antialiased line improvements and
several extensions.
- Michael Pichler contributed many bug fixes
- Miklos Fazekas wrote and maintains the Macintosh driver.
- Pascal Thibaudeau wrote the NeXT driver.
- Pedro Vazquez setup and maintains the Mesa Mailing list.
- Randy Frank contributed many bug fixes.
- Stefan Zivkovic wrote the Amiga driver.
- Stephane Rehel provided the Cygnus Win32 support
- Ted Jump maintained the
makefiles and project files for Windows 95/98/NT compilation for some time.
