FLASH, the FEL user facility at DESY, is operated with an electron beam energy up to 1 GeV corresponding to a photon wavelength down to 6.5 nm. The shutdown in summer 2007 was followed by a three month commissioning and study period. A new run of FEL experiments started in November 2007. The full year 2008 is dedicated to beam operation: about half of the time is scheduled for FEL users, and the rest for accelerator and FEL physics studies. Here we report the present status of FLASH as a FEL user facility.
