Software and Financial Donations
VMware, Inc. has supplied free VMware licences to members of the wxWidgets development team. VMware is a superb solution for people who need to access more than one operating system simultaneously. A big thank you to VMware for supporting the project.
Thank you to Microsoft for donating a copy of Visual C++ 6.0 to help wxWidgets compile on this version of the compiler (for a Virginia Tech course).
Michael Bedward has made a donation to support the wxWidgets 2 for Motif port.
Shiv Shankar Ramakrishnan, a Microsoft employee with wxWidgets development experience, has very generously donated a massive amount of Microsoft software to core wxWidgets developers, which has allowed us to test wxWidgets against VC++ 7 and generally get us up-to-date with operating systems and other packages in 2003. Many many thanks to Shiv! Some of us would still be in the dark ages without this donation.
Rob Chandler has donated a license for H2Reg, a program for integrating MS HTML Help into the Visual Studio .NET help system for our use in 2003.
Individual Donations
- Andy Robinson, Seventh String Software
- Alec Ross, Arcs Ltd.

Hosting
The stipends from our participation in Google Summer of Code allow Bryan Petty to finance the hosting for this website, the online user manuals, wxTrac, the read-only SVN and the wxWiki.
Credits
There are hundreds of people who have made wxWidgets possible through donated hardware, services, development, documentation, translations, and support. We couldn’t possibly list them all here over the last twenty years, however, we would like to highlight just a few of those rockstars.
Developers
We would particularly like to thank the following for their contributions to wxWidgets, and the many others who have been involved in the project over the years. Apologies for any unintentional omissions from this list.
