Bug Description

Calendar reminders seem to use the alarm role, which means muting your phone does not impact them.

It should either use the same role as the ringer, or maybe a completely separate one.

This is related to bug #1291458.

ProblemType: Bug
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04
Package: indicator-datetime 13.10.0+15.04.20141103-0ubuntu1

Architecture: amd64
CurrentDesktop: Unity
Date: Tue Nov 11 13:06:24 2014

UX Solution:
I would use a separate role.

Calendar reminders are lower in priority than Ringer and Alarms and users should be able to silence them.

Having a separated role would be a bit of rework on the rest of the stack (pulse, etc), so we should just use the role 'alert' for now (same as ringtone, camera click, etc).
