The foundation tries to do that, and you will see more of these meeting
this coming year.  Note however that while the board tries to be
proactive in proposing meetings, foundation members / hackers are the
ones who should ask foundation / board for funding.  I don't remember
ever seeing any such proposal from your side.

For reference, GNOME Foundation this year funded a java-gnome summit and
an a11y summit.  As I said, expect more next year.
