Yep, I agree with Renato -- these are being saved in tasks.ics as
floating times, ie, localtime.

I think this is a datetime bug rather than something in qtorganizer5-eds
or ubuntu-ui-toolkit.

Title:
  Alarms are triggered in UTC tz despite saving in local tz

  In Progress
Status in Clock application for Ubuntu devices:
  Confirmed
Status in “indicator-datetime” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “qtorganizer5-eds” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Setting an alarm in the local timezone is not respected by the system
  since the alarms is triggered in the equivalent UTC timezone.

  Mako build 200, 205

  Steps to reproduce: 
  1. Ensure that phone timezone is something other than UTC. For instance eastern tz (UTC-5)
  2. Set an alarm for 3:00 PM in the ubuntu clock app.
  3. Indicator shows a pending alarm for 3:00 PM
  4. Check a minute or so later, indicator shows an alarm pending for 8:00 PM

  What happens:
  The alarm does not go off at 3:00 PM. Instead it triggers at 8:00 PM

  What should happen:
  The alarm is triggered at 3:00 PM
