| ================ |
| |
| 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. |
| - **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. |

| 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| superseded by SGI SI GLU).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. |

| - **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. |
