I have no idea how to make friends at my uni and I was hoping to hear some success stories.

I'm also a programmer by profession. Haven't been as lucky as you with finding friends through programming even though I've probably been to every computer related Meetup or group in my area. Speaking of computer science, anyone doing anything for Software Freedom Day in September? I've tried the past few years to hold an event for it online and no one showed. Would love to do something for it, but it's really not much fun doing it alone.
