The One Degree Imager will be the future flagship instrument at the WIYN 3.5m observatory, once commissioned in 2011. With a 1 Gigapixel focal plane of Orthogonal Transfer Array CCD devices, ODI will be the most advanced optical imager with open community access in the Northern Hemisphere. In this talk we will summarize the progress since the last presentation of ODI at the SPIE 2008 meeting, focusing on optics procurement, instrument assembly and testing, and detector operations.
