As an Engineer, I find the project completely fascinating. I believe that this project will (or already has) enhance Infrastructure/Datacenter Design and pave the way for the next generation of Software Defined Networking (SDN) Solutions. In some ways, the Open Compute Project is sort of flying under the radar. When you say Facebook to someone, they probably think of the Product. But if you take a look at what they're doing with this Project, and how it can impact underlying infrastructure, this is amazing. There are other things they're working on (not directly networking related) that are also amazing. Another project I find fascinating is the Prism Project (no, not the NSA one, the Facebook one). Right in line with Google's Spanner. Pretty cool stuff!
