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 <https://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/vis.html>`__ |
|
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 <https://www.mesa3d.org>`__ website and Git repository are |
|
hosted by `freedesktop.org <https://freedesktop.org/>`__. |
|
- `alt.software <http://web.archive.org/web/20131110021426/http://www.altsoftware.com/>`__ |
|
contributed the Direct3D driver. |
|

|
Mesa. |
|
- **Bernhard Tschirren** wrote the Allegro DJGPP driver. |
|
