In the identity management world, we aim for some pretty lofty goals. Certainly Ian has been doing that recently. We're also pretty good at killing off things (remember that time someone declared SAML dead? Good times). This time though, I figured it would be nice to contribute towards killing off the water crisis, while showing our solidarity with Ian's goal of "killing identity management in order to save it".

I designed the shirt as a gag prop for my CISNOLA talk, riffing off the photoshop battle's I've been engaged in. But people seem to really like it. Now I was taught to share - with consent of course. So with Ian's blessing and the hope to do some good in the process of having some fun, we're selling the t-shirt to raise as much money as we can to fund clean water projects.

All the money raised (beyond the costs that this site charges to manufacture and ship the t-shirts) will be donated to charity:water, a great organization that sends 100% of the money they receive to fund life-saving and life-altering clean water projects in the most affected parts of the world. That's the kind of vision and intention that I know our community gets behind.

And since we're suckers for transparency, you'll love that when the projects complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.
