For funding and locations you should approach someone at the board, I
approached Behdad for the Gtk+ theming hackfest and I organized it in
my workplace. The location would be nicer to decide once you have an
idea on who's coming so that you can find a location that suits them
better (and therefore it'll make it cheaper to do). As the mozilla
foundation is also involved in both Cairo and video these days I'm
pretty sure we can find a way for them to support the hackfest as
well.

So for the first step, try to come up with a list of people that would
be interested in going to such hackfest.

BTW, Great work!!! I can't wait to see some results.
