I was at the meeting in Logroño and my impression was that we had to live with these different formalisations. There was no way to unify them and the best one could hope to transfer certain results from one formalisation to another using local types in some incredibly complicated way.
If there really is a common basis for formalising linear algebra than I would be thrilled to see it, and I'm sure we could figure out a way to implement this.
