This is a rather late response (blame it on excessive travelling :)),
but http://www.infrastructures.org/ is a good place to start from. I
would recommend reading the "Turing" paper on the site first, as it
gives a good overview of what the infrastructure field is about.

It distinguishes between a system/network administrator and an
infrastructure architect. You may choose to be on either side of the
divide as you start off. The skillset required is the same, the
philosophy of applying those skills is different.
