Phoronix: With GL 4.3 AoA Getting Done, Arceri Is Trying A GL 4.4 Extension

Timothy Arceri is the independent developer that started out doing some crowd-funded Mesa OpenGL extension development that was successful so he did a second crowd-funding campaign to do more Mesa feature work. That second extension, ARB_arrays_of_arrays, finally appears nearly complete so he's decided to work on another extension...

This keeps getting better and better. Only two extensions will be left for GL4.3 (unfortunately both are not started yet, but perhaps that was because of dependencies on other extensions?) and one for 4.4. Then 4.5 has two in progress and two not started yet, but by the time we get 4.4 that will probably have changed.

Could try seeing if Patriot donations could make it a full-time job

Yes, Michael missed the fact that he's been hired to work on the drivers full time.

So what's next for me? I've been asked since starting this campaign if I would do another one and for now the answer is no as I will no longer need to. As of November I will be working full time on Mesa for Collabora as part of their arrangement with Intel. I'm really excited about this and need that thank all of you for allowing me to get involved in Mesa in the first place.

Wow, incredible. Excellant stuff and a nice example of someone who made their way successfully in to the paid open-source corporate world from the big bad closed corporate one (not saying he didn't like his other job)
