We would like to encourage accepted candidates to introduce themselves on this thread, share with us where they are coming from and give a brief overview of the project they will be working on.
We’re so proud of the contributions they have made so far to our community, and we look forward to having a wonderful time working with them over the summer! Also, a huge shout-out to the project mentors for their enthusiasm and commitment!
Thank you to Sumit and Anna for coordinating this round along with me! Best, Srishti

It seems they've added additional requirements since 2015.
My name is Alexander Jones. I edit as happy5214 on several wikis, primarily enwiki and Wikidata. I hail, though not originally, from San Antonio, Texas, also known as The Alamo City. I have received an associate degree in CS from my local community college, and I am currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in CS, with a minor in math, from UTSA.
This year, I am adding Thanks support to Pywikibot. I have previous experience with Pywikibot, as I added Flow support to Pywikibot during GSoC 2015. With this project, I will be adding API calls for thanking users, integrating them with the existing class structure, and writing scripts to create aggregate lists of frequent thankers.
Good luck to everyone, and I'll be busy catching up this week.
Alexander
