Hi Vicente !
> if you are interested on one of these projects, please send as soon as possible to this ML a concrete proposal.> If both  subject  interest you, you can make two proposals.
My main choice for Thread is: Thread.Pool (Proposal n°2 on my homepage: http://immortal-pc.info/Boost.html )General idea: ( Syntax highlighting at: http://immortal-pc.info/Boost.html#threadPool_idea )
        int f1( const char* i ) {		std::cout << i << ':';		// ...		return 'f'+1;	}
        int f2( const char* i ) {		//...		return 'f'+2;	}
        int f3( const char* i ) {		//...		return 'f'+3;	}
        int f4() {		//...		return 20+20+2;// 42 Power ! ^^	}
        int f5() {		//...		return 'f'+5;	}
        int main()	{		// I want 5 threads for my job.		Boost::Pool bp(5);		// Note: A great option would be to use the "main thread" for calculations. (OpenMP like)		// With this idea, 5 threads needed => 4 new theads + the main thread		//		// Another interesting option would be to provide switch between thread and process (fork)				// I love Python multiprocessing:		// http://docs.python.org/2/library/multiprocessing.html#using-a-pool-of-workers		// Note: Using, C++11 Brace-Initialization => std::initializer_list		// Map function will call f1("Data1"), f1("Data2"), ...		// >> ONE CALL PER parameter		bp.map(f1, {"Data1","Data2","Data3","Data4","Data5","Data6","Data7"} );//!< WAITING function
                // "apply_async" will call {f1} with the parameter "Test" five times.		// >> 1 CALL for f1 !		// >> 1 CALL for f2 !		// >> 1 CALL for f3 !		// >> f1 // f2 // f3		// -> // = paralell		bp.apply_async(f1, "Test");		bp.apply_async(f2, "Test");		bp.apply_async(f3, "Test");		bp.execute();//!< WAINTING function		// Or maybe a function who provide a result list for each function		// Like this:		std::array<int> functionsReturns = bp.get_result<int>();//!< WAITING function
                // And another great things from https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/async/libs/async/doc/html/toward_boost_async/users_guide/getting_started.html		// Multi-function without parameter		// >> 1 CALL for f4		// >> 1 CALL for f5		// >> f4 // f5		// -> // = paralell		// NOTE: same as:		//		bp.apply_async(f4);		//		bp.apply_async(f5);		//		bp.execute();//!< WAITING function		bp.call_all(f4, f5);//!< WAITING function		// Maybe a function who provide a result list for each function		// Like this:		std::array<int> functionsReturns = bp.get_result<int>();				return 0;	}

Do you keep my proposal for Boost.SQL?
Best,Guillaume
