The Camel Name - Just A Thought
Section 1.1 of Camel In Action says, "The Apache Camel project was named
Camel simply because the name is short and easy to remember."
But here's a thought. When you think about it, the name "Camel" is so
appropriate to the notion of what Camel does that you'd think the name was
chosen on purpose. Even the picture of the Bedouin fits.
For the nomadic, desert-dwelling people of ages past, the camel was the key
method of transport, and was essential to creating and maintaining the lines
of communication that connected distant communities. Individuals, families,
trade goods of all kinds, and messages were all carried back and forth by
caravans of camels.

yeah - but donkeys seems to have friends in high places.
I just got slides from latest Gartner conference with reference product
slides
snippet from slides ->
API Manager:
– Apigee
– TIBCO (Mashery)
API Gateway:
– CA (Layer 7)
– Axway (Vordel)
ESB Suite:
– Oracle SOA Suite
– Software AG WebMethods
iPaaS:
– MuleSoft Cloud
– Dell Boomi
A whole lot of expensive, hard to operate donkey software.

Whoever is the smoker you refer to, he has great taste in cigarettes. I
also used to be chain-smokers of Camels several years ago ;) .

I would also venture a guess that the name Camel has something to do with
another platform called Mule back in 2006-2007 :)
