file and running make, make install from asterisk src directory.

find: /* XXX Technically you can check RELATED to see if the event fires from the END of the event

then cange the line
event->alarm = icaltime_as_timet_with_zone(tmp, utc);

into:
event->alarm = icaltime_as_timet_with_zone(tmp, icaltime_get_timezone(start));

Then you have your alarms in place!

Actually, they are supposed to fire for events where you aren’t busy, if there is a notification set. Since the notification is being overridden on all events to work around the timezone bug, all events have notification set. It should be possible to have the notification dialplan that is executed check ${CALENDAR_BUSY(calendarname)} before sending out the notification if you only want notification calls to come out when you are busy.

The real fix is for me to fix the timezone bug. 🙂 I wasn’t aware of it.

[WM: Thanks, Terry. Great suggestion! The only problem would be that, doing this in the dialplan, would mean the reminder call still rings in but the called party would get an immediate hangup when the dialplan detects that the calendar isn’t busy. Still not ideal if it’s in the middle of the night.]
