In my experience, you can do what you like and then share, all the time. It really takes a great deal of effort to enable your peers to know what are your interests and what you are good at. In the end I had to force myself into writing articles, bringing the code to "ready for other people" state and etc. Once done — people will find you, then you just chat, try building something together and see how that comes out.
