He'd like to thank Bill Hibbard for letting him work on 30Mesa as part of that project. 31<br> 32<br> 33<li>John Carmack of id Software, Inc. funded Keith Whitwell in 1999 in 34order to optimize Mesa's vertex transformation module. This is a very 35substantial piece of work. 36<br> 37<br> 38<li>Precision Insight, Inc., VA Linux Systems, Inc., and most recently, 39Tungsten Graphics, Inc. have supported the ongoing development of Mesa. 40<br> 41<br> 42<li>The 43<a href="http://www.mesa3d.org">Mesa</a> 44website is hosted by 45<a href="http://sourceforge.net">sourceforge.net</a>. 46<br> 47<br> 48 49<li>The Mesa git repository is hosted by 50<a href="http://freedesktop.org/">freedesktop.org</a>. 51<br> 52<br> 53 54 55<li><a href="http://www.altsoftware.com/">alt.software</a> contributed the Direct3D driver. 56 57<li><b>Bernd Barsuhn</b> wrote the evaluator code for (splines, 58patches) in Mesa. 59 60<li><b>Bernhard Tschirren</b> wrote the Allegro DJGPP driver. 61 62<li><b>Bogdan Sikorski</b> wrote the GLU NURBS and polygon tessellator 63in Mesa. 64 65<li><b>Charlie Wallace</b> wrote the MS-DOS driver. 66 67<li><b>CJ Beyer</b> was the www.mesa3d.org webmaster. 68 69<li><b>Darren Abbott</b> provided the OS/2 driver. 70 71<li><b>David Bucciarelli</b> wrote and maintained the 3Dfx Glide 72driver.
