How do you navigate to find good pockets of people or teams to work on?

So I’m assuming that this is specific to my job at Google and that's a great question. So my team itself is, I'm on the Assistant DevRel team. I work within the DevRel team and we have developer relations engineers and tech writers. I work with other teams like our engineering team, PM team, our GDS, which does all our video production team, I work with our social media team, I work with Dev marketing team; so I work with lots of different teams. I also work on different projects with different teams so I had a team that needed somebody who had technical experience and education, where they would want to do a learning pathway that was aimed to folks who are really new to tech. Of course that is a special spot in my heart, making it easier for people to get into tech, and not falling on some assumptions that people would know “x, y, z;” this was a really entry level type of contents and they couldn't find anyone and I was like “Yes, I would love to.” And so I worked with completely different team completely different folks on projects. I worked with a variety of people. So the question is how to find the good people and a lot of it is, it seems a little cliche to say, but Google has a lot of great people, I don't really think I met anyone that has been horrible. So it's been a lot of people who have a lot of passion and they're more than open and willing to share, which is lovely. The way I find, kind of, project and things to do, is by chatting with people and if I'm thinking of something that I want to do in particular I pitch to folks and try to see if I can get other people's involvement. To give you an example, when I refocus on doing App Actions, which is adding voice to an Android app; I really want to build content that would take you from 0 understanding to building something. I wanted to be both, to be able to explain the contacts, but then having the actual hands-on experience. So I ended up building a learning pathway, this was right before I had surgery, this was last year. So I wrote down this is what I think, what I think we should do, these are the concepts, this is the topics, I mapped it all out. The great thing was I was able to turn around to different team members and tell them “hey I’m doing x,y z, I’ve already scooped this out, I already know exactly what it's going to be, I just need someone to do it. And I’ll be gone, so if you don't get to it that's fine when I come back I'll do it.” I definitely thought you know might be something maybe 1 or 2 people might do, but turns out a lot of team members and other people outside of my team wanted to. And when I got back almost everything was done, which was really cool. So even if you there isn't a project you could petition a projects and propose it and have it out and of course get support from leadership. It's been a really lovely and other elements of finding the people within Google is there's tons of groups within Google. There's women@ Google, there's a Hispanic group, as well as Latinas @ Google, there are Women of DevRel, DevRel teams and so forth. There's a lot of smaller groups, “smaller” in the sense of its opt in, but there's a lot of different groups you could join and meet other people and learn about their projects as well and see how they can cross-promote and be able to do some fun stuff. Something else I think is it helpful is that I generally, if I can't do it, I always tell folks if you're working on something and it falls within this space of diversity, inclusion, belonging, supporting non-traditional folks I am all in; I might not have been with now but I that something that I'm really passionate about. Every once in a while, I'll get it ping of “hey I heard of this and I thought of you are interested.” That's really lovely, so I think part of it is that I have articulated to folks what is important to me.
