Core Team

Dr Robert Roebling
A practising medical doctor, Robert Roebling is responsible for the majority of the port to GTK+, and wrote a large amount of the X11 port. Robert wrote the first major commercial tool to be associated with the wxWidgets project: wxDesigner, a dialog editor and RAD tool that outputs XRC, C++, C#, Python, and Perl. He is currently investigating the use of wxWidgets with embedded Linux.

Dr Vadim Zeitlin
Vadim is a lynch-pin of the wxWidgets project, working on most of the ports and responsible for some monumental reengineering work and many important new classes. He also wrote most of the wxUniversal widget set and maintains the Mahogany mail client. Vadim contributes prolifically to the mailing lists, both helping 'newbies' and discussing complex C++ and design issues. Vadim is based in France and runs his own consultancy company, TT-Solutions.
