I offered some resources in my original reply, please browse through
them, you may see some ideas there for projects or small tasks to get
started on.

You could browse through the bug tracker [1], we have plenty of open
bugs that you could help with fixing, testing, or reproducing.

If you have a specific function or set of functions that you find
particular useful or relevant to the ways you use Octave, you could look
for open bugs on those functions, work on some needed improvement, or
even start with reviewing documentation or test cases.

If you have not yet built Octave yourself, you should familiarize
yourself with how to clone the development branch and compile it.
