[HPSG-L] Call for bids to host the 29th International HPSG conference

[Rui Chaves]

ps - I neglected to point out that the LSA Summer institute has been
pushed back to 2023
(https://www.linguisticsociety.org/content/umass-amherst-selected-host-2023-linguistic-institute),
and with it, our collocated conference.
This means that there currently is no venue for 2021. So, please
consider making a bid for next year!
