Former Silicon Mechanics employee here.

While I was working there, we had between zero and no interest whatsoever from anybody in actually seriously trying to purchase anything OpenCompute.

Apparently some board members used to work with some higher-ups at Facebook, so the project is sticking around for a while despite the total lack of interest.

If there's any actual real-world interest in OpenCompute stuff, you HAVE to reach out and ask or it's going to disappear.

Good point, although I suspect people who are willing to reach out are going to the ODMs and people who have interest in clicking the "buy now" button cannot express that interest because there is no "buy now" button.
