Acknowledgements ================ The following individuals and groups are to be acknowledged for their contributions to Mesa over the years. This list is far from complete and somewhat dated, unfortunately. - Early Mesa development was done while Brian was part of the `SSEC Visualization Project `__ at the University of 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 `__ website and Git repository are hosted by `freedesktop.org `__. - `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 - **Gareth Hughes** wrote new GLU 1.2 Polygon Tessellation code (now superseded by SGI SI GLU).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. - **John Watson** assisted with web page design. - **Josh Vanderhoof** contributed Intel x86 assembly code which 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. - **Uwe Maurer** wrote the LibGGI driver for Mesa-3.0. - **Victor Ng-Thow-Hing** wrote the Amiwin driver for the Amiga. Apologies to anyone who's been omitted. Please send corrections and additions to Brian.
