When publishing or sharing other calendars, it would be good to have an option to include/exclude alarms (screen shot of Apple's iCal attached). There are times where we want to subscribe to other people's calendar to check their schedule, but you don't really want to receive their calendar alarms.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Subscribe to other person's calendar

Actual Results:  
If it contains alarms, you will receive the alarms even if you don't want to

Expected Results:  
1. When subscribing to other people's calendar, provide a tick box to exclude the alarm. The default behaviour is exclude the alarm.
2. When publishing your calendar, provide a tick box to exclude the alarm. The default behaviour is exclude the alarm.

We'd be happy to contribute programming time to provide this enhanced functionality, if approved.

The bugspam monkeys have struck again. They are currently chewing on default assignees for Calendar. Be afraid for your sanity!

Only the 'publish alarms' part is left. -> Changing summary
