The Hackfest is invitation only, but people from the community can put
forth proposals about what they could work on or how they could
contribute at the hackfest.   Invitations can be extended to anyone
within the GNOME or Free Software community with a good, relevant
idea to propose and the motivation to get involved.  By relevant
proposal I mean something focused on the GNOME 3 launch, improving the
GNOME community in Asia, etc.

Right, this is probably the best choice for the person with a more
casual interest.
