Hi everyone
I am Alangi Derick and also d3r1ck on the IRC. I was selected in the GSoC 2016 program and was opportuned to work on the project titled "Integration of IFTTT support for Wikidata" and I am very happy to be the first African GSoCer in Wikimedia Foundation. This is indeed a priviledge and I wish to thank everyone that guided me in this movement to attain this level.
I specially want to thank my mentors (Stephen Laporte, Marius Hoch, Lydia Pintscher, Benedikt Seidl and Sam Tarling) for helping me before and within this program. Also I won't forget to thank some very key org admins for their great help when I just joined the movement (Quim Gil, Brian Wolf, Andre Klapper), I really thank you all for your help.
I will love to keep working with you all so that I can better shape my future in Wikimedia and also hope to see you all in person when the time comes :) and also to all Wikimedia Developers, I shall keep in touch and we all shall make the movement better in the future. Cheers!!!!
Regards Alangi Derick Ndimnain

Alangi, I was very happy to see that you made it. When you started contributing half year ago we told you that perseverance usually brings fortune (maybe I didn't say it with these words) ;) and here you are, with a well deserved GSoC internship. And indeed, you seem to be the first Wikimedia GSoC student from Africa (Cameroon).
Since your project focuses on Wikidata, please consider sending this message to the wikidata@ mailing list as well. Good luck with your project!
