How to get contributors for opensource search engine

Question

We are a company developing opensource search engine.

It's hosted in github (https://github.com/fastcatgroup/fastcatsearch)

I think we need contributor globaly, but don't know where to start.

Have any good idea or strategies?

Giving it to Apache or Jboss community is good idea?

Thanks.
