The author of the text is Sashko Stubailo, who has been working with the community on the Apollo project for a year. The Apollo project has already seen dozens of blog posts, meetup talks, announcements, events, and more. To keep up with what's happening in GraphQL and Apollo, one can follow the official blog on Medium, which publishes high-quality content about GraphQL and open-source announcements. They can also follow @apollographql on Twitter for timely news and links to cool content. Additionally, they can watch the GitHub repositories of the project to stay updated on bug reports, discussions, and debates. Sashko invites the community to join the Apollo Slack channel to get involved in discussions about best practices, implementations, and more. They also recommend using Stack Overflow to ask and answer questions about Apollo and GraphQL, and subscribing to their YouTube channel for talk videos from meetups and conferences. Furthermore, they mention that if one is interested in attending or speaking at a meetup, there are opportunities available in the San Francisco Bay Area.
