fyi, what we've implemented for now is the following (in silo 9):
- calendar notifications will vibrate, instead of playing a sound by default. Calendar notifications can be disabled in Settings->Notifications
- calendar notifications will not be displayed for events that you're marked as "Not Attending" (i.e. after google calendar sync)
- calendar notifications will show up in the Notifications menu in case you miss then
- calendar events will remain in the date/time indicator for the duration of the event and not disappear immediately after the event occurs like they current do

After this land, the next step is we plan to implement the extended Notifications panel in System Settings:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Notification

This will allow user to choose sound, vibrate, notification bubbles, etc
on a per app basis to control notifcations. Once that panel is done
we'll cut over Calendar notifications to use it, in conjunction with the
work Charles and his team are doing on the notification backend.

Title:
  [calendar] Reminder notifications are not integrated into system
  notifications

Status in Canonical System Image:
  In Progress
Status in Ubuntu Calendar App:
  In Progress
Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Fix Committed
Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The calendar app does not use the standard notification system. You
  can't find it in the "Notifications" area of System Settings, and it
  uses its own notification sound regardless of what is set in "Sound".

  Also, reminders are not muted when the phone is in silent mode (I
  guess it's related).

  I'm on bq Aquaris, r20 and with the latest calendar-app.

  UX Comment:

  Calendar Notifications need to be overhauled:
  -- Calendar Notifications are displayed for too brief a period and should conform to the same timing as other notifications.

  -- Calendar Notifications are not currently appearing in the
  notification tray within indicators and should be.

  -- Calendar Notification title is misleading ('Alarm') and should make
  clear that the notification relates to a calendar event ('Event') and
  not a alarm-clock event.

  -- Calendar Notification's should NOT override silent mode (unlike
  clock-alarms) although the notification should still be displayed,
  appear in the notification within indicators and cause the device to
  vibrate (if enabled) - This is accepted/common behaviour for
  notifications of this type on mobile.
