1Acknowledgements 2================ 3 4The following individuals and groups are to be acknowledged for their 5contributions to Mesa over the years. This list is far from complete and 6somewhat dated, unfortunately. 7 8- Early Mesa development was done while Brian was part of the `SSEC 9 Visualization Project <https://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/vis.html>`__ 10 at the University of Wisconsin. He'd like to thank Bill Hibbard for 11 letting him work on Mesa as part of that project. 12- John Carmack of id Software, Inc. funded Keith Whitwell in 1999 in 13 order to optimize Mesa's vertex transformation module. This is a very 14 substantial piece of work. 15- Precision Insight, Inc., VA Linux Systems, Inc., and most recently, 16 Tungsten Graphics, Inc. have supported the ongoing development of 17 Mesa. 18- The `Mesa <https://www.mesa3d.org>`__ website and Git repository are 19 hosted by `freedesktop.org <https://freedesktop.org/>`__. 20- `alt.software <http://web.archive.org/web/20131110021426/http://www.altsoftware.com/>`__ 21 contributed the Direct3D driver. 22- **Bernd Barsuhn** wrote the evaluator code for (splines, patches) in 23 Mesa. 24- **Bernhard Tschirren** wrote the Allegro DJGPP driver. 25- **Bogdan Sikorski** wrote the GLU NURBS and polygon tessellator in 26 Mesa. 27- **Charlie Wallace** wrote the MS-DOS driver. 28- **CJ Beyer** was the www.mesa3d.org webmaster. 29- **Darren Abbott** provided the OS/2 driver. 30- **David Bucciarelli** wrote and maintained the 3Dfx Glide driver. 31 Thousands of Linux/Quake players thank David! 32- **Gareth Hughes** wrote new GLU 1.2 Polygon Tessellation code (now 33 superseded by SGI SI GLU). 34- **Holger Waechtler** contributed AMD 3DNow! assembly code which 35 accelerates vertex transformation in Mesa 3.1. Holger also 36 implemented the GL_EXT_texture_env_combine extension. 37- **Jeroen van der Zijp** and **Thorsten Ohl** contributed the Xt/Motif 38 widget code. 39- **John Stone** provided the multi-threading support in Mesa 3.0. 40- **John Watson** assisted with web page design. 41- **Josh Vanderhoof** contributed Intel x86 assembly code which 42 accelerates vertex transformation in Mesa 3.x. 43- **Jouk Jansen** contributed and continues to maintain the VMS 44 support. 45- **Karl Schultz** has been maintaining the Windows driver. 46- **Keith Whitwell** has made extension contributions to Mesa since 47 1999. 48- **Kendall Bennett** wrote the SciTech MGL driver. 49- **Klaus Niederkrueger** contributed many improvements to Mesa's 50 software rasterizer. 51- **Mark Kilgard** contributed antialiased line improvements and 52 several extensions. 53- **Michael Pichler** contributed *many* bug fixes 54- **Miklos Fazekas** wrote and maintains the Macintosh driver. 55- **Pascal Thibaudeau** wrote the NeXT driver. 56- **Pedro Vazquez** setup and maintains the Mesa Mailing list. 57- **Randy Frank** contributed *many* bug fixes. 58- **Stefan Zivkovic** wrote the Amiga driver. 59- **Stephane Rehel** provided the Cygnus Win32 support 60- **Ted Jump** maintained the makefiles and project files for Windows 61 95/98/NT compilation for some time. 62- **Uwe Maurer** wrote the LibGGI driver for Mesa-3.0. 63- **Victor Ng-Thow-Hing** wrote the Amiwin driver for the Amiga. 64 65Apologies to anyone who's been omitted. Please send corrections and 66additions to Brian. 67
