Sorry, late on this. I posted it to the community forum at TechSoup,
which is a great place to post needs for tech-related volunteers: 
http://forums.techsoup.org/cs/community/f/ 

Also, these would be great opportunities to post to VolunteerMatch,
which has a very heavy San Francisco Bay Area user base: 
http://www.volunteermatch.org 

The volunteer for the area would also be a good place to list these
opportunities
