Hi Waleed, welcome. I don't know much about the specific domain you are
interested in, but your contributions are welcome. Please take a look at
some of the resources for getting started with Octave and contributing:

http://wiki.octave.org/Developers
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/v4.0.1/Contributing-Guidelines.html

And then take a look at the fem-fenics package, which sounds like what
you would be helping to develop.

http://octave.sourceforge.net/fem-fenics
http://hg.code.sf.net/p/octave/fem-fenics

Feel free to ask questions as you get familiar with developing for
Octave and working within the community.

Enjoy,
