How or where can I find technical volunteer opportunities or organizations?

I am a software engineer professionally and would like to find organizations or volunteer opportunities that are in need of my professional skills. I've volunteered my time with other organizations and have done minor web work, but what I would love would be to find some kind of grassroots education technology opportunity that I could contribute to without making it my job.
Answer:

Are you hoping to volunteer domestically, virtually, or internationally in person? My organization, MovingWorlds (http://MovingWOrlds.org), helps people find the best place around the world to donate their professional skills. We're hoping to place a software engineer in a few countries around the world. One opportunity in Indonesia also comes with travel and living expenses covered by the nonprofit... Domestically, I would suggest working with http://Catchafire.org Virtually, you might want to consider UNVolunteers

Many NGOs are in need of software/ website/ application services. They many not require the exact services that you mentioned, but I'm sure they will appreciate your skills for various purposes. I would suggest that you broaden the scope of work and I'm sure you will get to learn a whole lot of things. If you are interested, you may check up on http://www.doinggoodfellows.orgfor online volunteering opportunities for technical support to NGOs.
