  3. liblava

    Modern and easy-to-use library for Vulkan

    When I was pretty new to C++, I made some contributions to liblava, because it was missing features I wanted to use. Exploring its codebase taught me a lot about perfect forwarding, template metaprogramming, and Vulkan. I think it's a pretty nice modern codebase, if you're interested in graphics. There are some open issues for feature requests, and the maintainer is very friendly.

  4. HPX

    The C++ Standard Library for Parallelism and Concurrency

    https://github.com/STEllAR-GROUP/hpx Welcoming community + we have been part of GSoC for 4-5 years now so feel free to apply there when it opens ;)
