+## Developer News
+
+The [Steering Committee Election](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/tree/master/elections/steering/2024) has begun! Now is the time to decide if you should be on Steering. If so, [nominate yourself](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/tree/master/elections/steering/2024#candidacy-process). Also, it's time to [check if you're eligible to vote](https://groups.google.com/a/kubernetes.io/g/dev/c/z7wmuHO-2N8), since there's plenty of time to fix that if the system doesn't have you yet.
+
+The Job Migration deadline is past and [umigrated jobs are being removed](https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/issues/33226). The Infra team plans to migrate Prow around August 21st (after the 10.31 release), during which there will be a Prow outage. Infra recommends that Kubernetes subprojects not make any releases around the end of August.
+
+The GitHub Admins are [migrating all of our GitHub Orgs](https://groups.google.com/a/kubernetes.io/g/dev/c/59Huu9dbqXQ) to be under a single Enterprise account. This is not expected to be disruptive, but they'll do it one org at a time just in case.
+
+SIG Node [nominates Peter Hunt](https://groups.google.com/a/kubernetes.io/g/dev/c/fbo7LTaRs-A) to be the third chair of the SIG.
+
+## Release Schedule
+
+**Next Deadline: v1.31.0 release day, August 13th**
+
+Kubernetes [v1.31.0-rc.1](https://groups.google.com/a/kubernetes.io/g/dev/c/ASLt7rXS7jc) is now live! Find the full changelog with the release notes [here](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG-1.31.md). We're all set for the release, which is scheduled for next Tuesday.
+
+August patch releases, originally scheduled for 13th August, are now [delayed by one day](https://groups.google.com/g/kubernetes-sig-release/c/_VPDZF-aIyc) because of v1.31 release scheduled for the same day. The patch releases are now scheduled to be cut on the 14th. There are no changes to the cherry pick deadline.
+
+## KEP of the Week
+
+### [KEP 3762: PersistentVolume last phase transition time](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/tree/master/keps/sig-storage/3762-persistent-volume-last-phase-transition-time)
+
+This KEP introduces an enhancement to add a new PersistentVolumeStatus field, which would hold a timestamp of when a PersistentVolume last transitioned to a different phase.
+
+Some users have experienced data loss with the `Delete` retain policy and switched to the safer `Retain` policy, where unclaimed volumes transition to the `Released` phase and accumulate over time, requiring manual cleanup. This will aid in manual cleanups, and allow performance tests to measure transition times (e.g., `Pending` to `Bound`).
+
+This KEP is tracked for GA release in the upcoming v1.31.
