We regularly highlight Steampipe contributors, and we reward their efforts with swag. This year we upped our game by participating in [Hacktoberfest](https://steampipe.io/blog/hacktoberfest-2022) by offering limited edition Steampipe Hacktoberfest 2022 stickers for no-code/low-code contributions (e.g. blog posts, doc updates, new table columns) and t-shirts for high-code contributions (e.g. new plugins or mods).
