[LRUG] I Love Ruby

Targeting a niche subset of developers who are keen to drink steadily
throughout the day in the company of European women. Genius.
 
Maybe consider letting developers smoke at their desks?

"I was speaking to [Senior Ruby Developer] recently about a variety of
things and he mentioned your name. In fact he recommended you as a
recruiter. *Actually* recommended too, not as in "he's not as evil as the
rest", but as in "you really should speak to this guy first""

I'm not going to get into what you meant here, since I've no way of knowing.
I can only speak to how you've presented yourself, so just take this as a
writing tip:
 
The reason this comes off so badly is that you've put 'female devs' in a
list of what are essentially job perks and means of compensation, which
presents them as a commodity. You may have meant well but the context gives
that line an objectifying tone, for both sexual and racial/nationality
reasons.
 
If it is indeed your intention to show off your diverse, welcoming team,
that sentence creates the exact opposite effect. It pays to be more verbose
and context-aware sometimes.
