As one idea, I would (if I didn't have too many demands on my time): 1) Browse through the APIs/Code for a piece of code that intrigues you. 2) Read it, write a blog on it, tweet about your blog (or whatever other social networks you're into). 3) Learn about Caliper (https://github.com/google/caliper) 4) Write a Benchmark for that piece of code. Blog about doing that, explaining how you did it. 5) Consider whether you can optimize the code and use Caliper to make your case. 6) Goto #1.
