The Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin is constructing the Energy Recovery Linac Project BERLinPro on its site in Berlin Adlershof. The project is intended to expand the required accelerator physics and technology knowledge mandatory for the design, construction and operation of future synchrotron light sources. The project goal is the generation of a high current (100 mA), high brilliance (norm. emittance below 1 mm mrad) cw electron beamat 2~ps rms bunch duration or below. The planning phase of the project is completed and the design phase of most of the components is finished. Many of them have already been ordered. After some delay the construction of the building has started in February 2015. The status of the various subprojects as well as a summary of current and future activities will be given. Major project milestones and details of the project time line will be finally introduced.

The Advanced Photon Source and other existing storage ring light sources are contemplating replacing an existing, operating storage ring with a multi-bend achromat lattice. One issue is that existing light sources have large user communities who are greatly inconvenienced by extended shutdowns. Hence, there will be a premium placed on rapid commissioning of the new lattice. To better understand the possibilities, we undertook a survey of recent commissioning experience at third-generation light sources. We present a summary of that survey here.
