4 The following individuals and groups are to be acknowledged for their
5 contributions to Mesa over the years. This list is far from complete and
6 somewhat dated, unfortunately.
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
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/>`__
